Abstract:
In this work, we focus our attention on dispersion characteristics of Transverse Electric (TE) and Transverse Magnetic (TM) surface modes, leaky modes and volume modes of double-positive grounded slab. We have analyzed the dispersion using the Transverse Resonance Method (TRM). The simple method represents the boundary conditions of the grounded slab by an equivalent circuit. It reveals that this structure, though it contains several types, just the ordinary type exists for surface modes and just the improper type exists for leaky modes. Numerical results illustrate the properties and the existence conditions for these modes.
