Nonlinear interactions of azimuthal surface waves in magnetoactive plasma filled waveguides
- Kharkiv State Univ. (Ukraine)
This paper deals with the theoretical studies of nonlinear interactions of azimuthal surface waves (ASW) in cylindrical metal waveguides fully filled by a uniform magnetoactive plasma. These surface-type wave perturbations propagate in azimuthal direction across an external magnetic field, which is directed along the waveguide axis. The ASW is a relatively new kind of surface wave and so far the nonlinear effects associated with their propagation are outside the scope of scientific issues. They are characterized by a discrete set of mode numbers values which define the ASW eigenfrequencies. This fact leads to several peculiarities of ASW compared with ordinary surface-type waves. The obtained results are of significant interest for the new radiotechnical devices design. This is due to a strong nonreciprocality of ASW propagation and the possibility of the frequency control in broad limits by the plasma density and the magnetic field values variation.
