Propagation in rectangular waveguides with a pseudochiral /spl Omega/ slab

The transfer matrix approach is applied for analysis of waveguides loaded with a uniaxial pseudochiral /spl Omega/-slab. In particular a pseudochiral parallel plate and rectangular guides are investigated. Based on the numerical analysis the influence of the pseudochirality on propagation characteristics and field distribution are examined. Other features such as a field displacement phenomenon appearing in both the considered structures due to the pseudochirality are also discussed.
