We explore the duality between metric and material properties in the Maxwell’s equations to design metamaterial blueprints for cladding control of waveguide modes. We illustrate designs for circular and rectangular waveguides. In contrast to standard material loading of waveguides, the proposed cladding does not produce hybrid modes. The cutoff frequencies of the propagating modes can be contro...

A Semi-Analytical Finite Element (SAFE) method is developed to model accurately the propagation velocity and leakage of guided waves along an immersed waveguide with arbitrary non-circular cross-section. Thus an accurate inverse model is provided to measure the density of the fluid by measuring the change of the torsional wave speed. Experimental results obtained with a rectangular bar in a ran...

Temperature sensitivity of the fluorescence intensity of the organic dyes solutions was used for noncontact measurement of the electromagnetic millimeter wave absorption in water. By using two different dyes with opposite temperature effects, local temperature increase in the capillary that is placed inside a rectangular waveguide in which millimeter waves propagate was defined. The application...

The generalized dual-series approach to the capacitive and inductive iris waveguide problems is presented. Currents on the iris and plots of the fields and power flow in the vicinity of the iris are given for the capacitive iris case. It is found that vortices form in the iris region when higher order scattered modes are present. The formation of these vortices and their properties will be desc...
