Research on Characteristics of Electromagnetic Wave Propagation in a Multi-Layer Structure

The characteristics of electromagnetic wave propagating in a multi-layer structure with anisotropic conductor-dielectric-plasma are researched. The dispersion curve is obtained by theoretical analysis and numerical calculation. The coupling effect of the anisotropic conductor sheet on electromagnetic wave is proved through comparing dispersion curves under various conditions. The results show that the slow plasma surface wave is formed because of the coupling of slow wave with plasma surface wave.
