ABSTRACT

The guided wave propagation in an anisotropic plasma medium is investigated by many authors. The results for a cold stationary anisotropic plasma are well summarized by Allis et al. [1]. The guided slow-wave propagation in drifting cold anisotropic plasma is considered by Trivelpiece [2]. Mode theory of a waveguide filled with stationary warm uniaxial plasma has been recently reported by Tuan [3]. Electron stream interactions with a cold plasma in a waveguide are considered by Smullin and Chorney [4] and Briggs [5].
