Electromagnetic Fields in a Circular Waveguide Containing Chiral Nihility Metamaterial

Propagation of electromagnetic flelds and power in a circular waveguide containing chiral nihility metamaterial is studied. Space inside the waveguide is divided into two circular regions. One region contains chiral nihility metamaterial while other region is of free space. Two cases of the waveguide, in this regard, are considered for analysis. For the case of perfect electric conductor (PEC) waveguide, there is no net electric fleld and power propagation in chiral nihility region of the guide whereas both flelds and power exist in non- nihility region (which is free space in our cases) of the guide. For perfect electromagnetic conductor (PEMC) waveguide, both electric and magnetic flelds exist in the chiral nihility and non-nihility regions.
