Abstract
A method is presented for determining the attenuation and phase constants of a surface wave propagating along an infinite planar layer of metal-backed material. Two input impedance measurements of a rectangular waveguide partially filled with the test material are used to infer the propagation characteristics of the plane surface wave. Measurements are presented which validate the method
