Relativistic Effect on Guided Wave Propagation through Isotropic Lossy Plasma

The dispersion relations and cut-off frequencies for the appropriate modes existing inside the relativistically moving lossy isotropic plasma waveguide are studied and are found to depend on waveguide dimensions, plasma-parameters and the drift velocity of plasma medium. The field as well as power flow are also studied in detail and it is found that the fields as well as power flow for TE modes are unchanged while for TM modes they are modified depending on the drift velocity of the plasma medium. The results are compared with those obtained for the case of lossless relativistically moving and lossy stationary plasma waveguides.
