Abstract

The equations describing transverse propagation of electromagnetic waves in a cylindrically stratified plasma, in which a static magnetic field is imposed parallel to the axis of cylindrical symmetry, are examined. A systematic method developed previously for isotropic media, Heading (3), Westcott (6) is adapted to yield generalized proffles relating to the plasma properties. These proffles are capable of producing exact solutions for the field distribution in terms of standard transcendental functions. Previously known proffles appear as special cases of the analysis.
