Abstract
The propagation of electromagnetic surface waves along thin metallic strips was investigated. Efficient guidance of surface waves over distances of many kilometers can now be realized since: (1) low attenuation of the electromagnetic waves can be achieved by increasing the width of the strip, (2) losses by scattering are small because of the large reduction in the radial extension of the electric field, and (3) thin foils are lightweight. Other means (e.g., coaxial line or waveguides) of transporting electromagnetic waves produce orders of magnitude increase in weight, cost, and attenuation.
