A finite-element formulation for the modal analysis of chirowaveguides is described. It constitutes a generalisation of the vector EH formulation, which has earlier been found to be without spurious nonphysical solutions. The validity of the suggested formulation is confirmed by comparing obtained dispersion relations for a circular chirowaveguide with corresponding exact solutions, the correspondence was found to be excellent.

Propagation analysis of chirowaveguides, i.e. waveguides including chiral media, are calculated using a generalization of the full vector finite-element formulation in terms of the electric and magnetic fields. The formulation permits numerous inhomogeneous waveguide structures of arbitrary linear composition, including chiral media, to be analyzed without any nonphysical, spurious modes. In the proposed formulation both the necessary conditions on the tangential field components and the additional conditions on the normal field components are automatically satisfied by the trial functions. In this way the dimension of the resulting sparse generalized eigenvalue problem is significantly reduced. The straightforward extension to the novel class of chirowaveguides, which exhibit a number of interesting new features, demonstrates the versatility of the formulation. The advantageous numerical properties are thus preserved. Numerical examples on both metal and dielectric chirowaveguides are given. The finite-element results are compared with exact solutions, and the correspondence is found to be excellent.

The propagation characteristics of hybrid modes in the circular cylindrical and coaxial line gyrotropic chirowaveguides are studied using the technique of separation variables. First, the transverse components of electric and magnetic fields are expressed in terms of the longitudinal components of (E) over bar and (H) over bar. Then, numerical results are presented for the dispersion behavior and cut-off frequencies as well as the field distributions of hybrid E H-0,H-1 and H E(n,1), with the effects of different electromagnetic parameters of gyrotropic chiral material taken into consideration. It is shown that the process of mode bifurcation also takes place in the gyrotropic chirowaveguides;this is similar to the cases of reciprocal chirowaveguides. But, gyrotropic chirowaveguides are nonreciprocal bianisotropic devices.

The dispersion curves of circular open chirowaveguides have been obtained by two different methods. The first is based on the fulfillment of the boundary conditions at the surface of the guide. The second is based on the expansion of the electromagnetic fields in the chiral guide in terms of the modes propagating in the dielectric guide having the same geometry, permittivity-episilon and permeability-mu. It is assumed that the chirality admittance is much smaller square-root(epsilon/mu). The frequency behaviour of the dispersion curves and the coupling processes occurring between the modes along the guide are analysed.

The orthogonality relations for modes supported by a general cylindrical chirowaveguide are derived. These waveguiding structures are cylindrical waveguides containing chiral materials. It is pointed out that one of these relations is valid for lossless waveguides, whereas the other holds for the lossy as well as the lossless case. It is demonstrated that the orthogonality relations can be used to express an arbitrary electric or magnetic field within a chirowaveguide in terms of the mode functions. As in conventional waveguides, the orthogonality relations reported can be used to expand an arbitrary E or H field within a chirowaveguide in terms of a complete set of mutually orthogonal modes in the waveguide.

Surface wave modes on an open chiral rod and a planar chiral slab are studied, It is shown that the effect of chirality is to split each mode in the nonchiral case to a pair of modes, the cutoff frequencies of which are above and below that of the nonchiral case, The mode with the lower cutoff frequency is dominantly right circularly polarized (RCP) mode while the made with the higher cutoff frequency is dominantly left circularly polarized (LCP) mode near their respective cutoff frequencies. At sufficiently higher frequencies, all modes tend to become RCP (assuming a right handed chiral medium), Closed form expressions for modal cutoff frequencies on the planar chiral slab and chiral circular rod are derived, The surface wave modes are classified as HE and EH modes and a suitable definition for these mode types, that reduces to well known definitions in the nonchiral case, is proposed.

This paper presents an equivalent network method for dispersion analysis of general chirowaveguides. First, wave propagation in each homogeneous layer is represented by two pairs of transmission lines, the matrix wave impedance is defined. Next, the transformation properties of the input impedance are established. It is then demonstrated that the transverse resonance condition involving the previously obtained matrix impedance leads to the dispersion equation for the waveguides. The numerical results show that this network approach is feasible and practicable.

By analyzing the vector and scalar equations for chirowaveguides, two forms of mode orthogonality relations are obtained: the vector formulated orthogonality and the scalar formulated orthogonality. The first one is applicable to the general case of open chiroplasma or chiroferrite waveguides. It is shown that for two parallel-plate isotropic chirowaveguides, these two forms of orthogonality relations differ. Based on mode orthogonality relations, it is shown that in chirowaveguides the polarization of so-called complex modes differs from that of propagating or evanescent modes. The correlation between field components of two complex modes that transfer active power flow in chirowaveguides is obtained.

The generalized dyadic admittance resulting from the transverse fields in slightly chiral soft and hard surface waveguides is presented. The derived admittance is useful in describing the mode transforming effect of the waveguide. In the analysis of the admittance equations, it is observed that the length of the waveguide is of critical importance.

This article gives a study of coupled-mode analysis for chirowaveguides. Waveguides with chiral material in contact with the perfect electric conducting walls are analyzed with the use of the magnetic-field-expansion approach. It is shown that this approach can provide satisfactory results, including propagation constants and field component configurations. Both magnetic-field-expansion and magnetic-induction-expansion approaches are discussed and compared with each other. Methods of derivation of general expressions of coupling coefficients with the use of the magnetic-induced-expansion approach for bianisotropic waveguides are also given in detail.
