Numerical method for solving the problem of TE-waves in the Goubau line

Abstract

Background. The problems of electromagnetic wave propagation in open metaldielectric structures are important in the study of waveguides. The purpose of the article is to numerically study a problem of the leaky and surface TE-electromagnetic wave propagation in the Goubau line. Material and methods: A numerical method for solving the problem is based on a version of the parameter shooting method. Results: A numerical method for solving the propagation problem of the leaky and surface TE-electromagnetic waves in the Goubau line was developed and implemented, and several numerical experiments were carried out. Conclusions: The developed method allows one to classify electromagnetic TE-waves in the Goubau line.
