Propagation properties of a plasma waveguide in a finite magnetic field

The propagation properties of a plasma waveguide in a lossy material under a finite magnetic field are analyzed, particularly for the variations of their propagation constants with plasma parameters, surrounding material and external magnetic field. The analysis show that the propagation properties of such a magnetized plasma-filled waveguide are easy to be controlled compared with those of plasma waveguide to which no external magnetic field or an infinite external magnetic field is applied
