Abstract :
It has been reported that the lowest cutoff frequency of the modes in a parallel-plate chirowaveguide is not zero. In this paper, we show that a dominant mode of trivial cutoff frequency may be supported by such a chirowaveguide. The mode exhibits the characteristics of a TEM mode when the chirality of the medium vanishes or the operating frequency is very low. An analogous mode also exists in a bianisotropic chiral coaxial line, i.e., the structure formed by more than one conductor
