Abstract

Solutions to the Maxwell equations for a planar non-integer dimensional perfect electric conductor (NID-PEC) waveguide are obtained. The space within the guide is NID in direction normal to walls of the waveguide. Field behaviour within the waveguide is noted for different values of the parameter, D, describing dimension of the NID space. For D = 2, classical results are recorded. The discussion is further extended by treating propagation in a tunnel within unbounded dielectric medium. The space within tunnel is also NID in direction perpendicular to walls of the tunnel. For different values of Dfield behaviors are also presented. It has been noted that for D = 2 and taking very high values of permittivity (ϵ → ∝) classical results for PEC waveguide are recorded. Whereas for ϵ → ∝, field behavior within tunnel matches with NID-PEC waveguide.
