Abstract

The propagation of electromagnetic waves in a plasma-filled cylindrical waveguide in the presence of a constant external magnetic field is investigated using warm plasma theory. It is found that the waves cannot be separated into transverse magnetic and transverse electric modes; only hybrid modes are propagated. Dispersion relations are derived for zero, finite and infinite magnetic fields. Frequency shifts for the wave propagation in the case of a small magnetic field are calculated.
