The waveguide section is terminated by magnetic conductor at z=0, over which the tangential
magnetic field is 0 and is matched at z=- ∞. The waveguide is excited by a dominant source Js
at Z=-l. The other side of the waveguide has the matched guide. So, the current source Js is
located at a distance L from the magnetic conductor and this is my propagation Direction Z.
So, this source Js is assumed to excite only the dominant mode, so this can be marked as figure
2. So, this is the point Z equal to 0, this is the electric source and this is matched at Z equal to
minus infinity.
Now, in region 1, there will be both an incident wave at Z = 0 such that the tangential magnetic
field Ht=0 (magnetic conductor). From the previous week's lectures that the transverse fields
for cylindrical waveguides can be written in terms of the modal currents and the modal
voltages. Transverse fields for cylindrical waveguides are given by:
Et = eV and H t = hI (1)
V = V + e − s + V − e + s and I =

Z0
(
V + e − s − V − e + s ) (2)
here as e and h are mode vectors, γ is the propagation constant in the waveguide and Z0 is the
characteristic impedance. So, using this formalism or using these simple equations for the
dominant mode essentially, transmission line equations, we can write down the transverse
electric field and the transverse magnetic field in region 1 as below:
( )
Et1 = A e− j z + e+ j z e = 2 A cos( z )e (3a)
H t1 =

(
A − j z
e )
− e+ j z h = 2 A sin( z )h
(3b)
Here β is the phase constant of the dominant mode, both of these are in region 1 comprising of
the incident and the reflected fields.

Et2 = Be + j z e (4a)
− B + j z (4b)
H t2 = e h

So, we now have the boundary conditions which is the continuity of the transverse magnetic
field Ht at z =- l, from which we can determine a and b or determine the relationship between
a and b. So, applying the continuity of the transverse electric field at z =- l, i.e. at the location
of the current source JS, we have:
Et1 = Et2
= 2 A cos( l )e = Be− j l e

So, now we are going to define a term that is Self-Reactance of a current sheet. So, the Self-
