On Observation of Surface Electromagnetic Waves in Enclosed Spaces

Resumo

An experiment on the study of waveguide propagation of surface electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 1 GHz in an enclosed space on free curved metal–dielectric interface was conducted. The distribution of the field of the electromagnetic wave along the propagation path was obtained for two cases: when a metallized tape was placed between radiating and receiving antennas and without the tape. It has been found that the field strength in the presence of the metallized tape is higher than the field strength without the tape.
