NONLINEAR TE SURFACE WAVES IN A LAYERED ANTIFERROMAGNET—SUPERCONDUCTOR WAVEGUIDE STRUCTURE

Abstract

This paper describes the theoretical characteristics of TE nonlinear transverse electric surface waves propagating at microwave frequencies in a layered structure of superconductor film bounded by an antiferromagnet substrate and a linear ferrite cover. The effects of the operating angular frequency and temperature of superconductor on the dispersion characteristics have been examined. The power flow has also been studied as a function of the reduced phase and attenuation constants.
