Abstract :
Description of the two first surface wave modes (TM0 , TE1) and the computation of the associated fields. From the values of the fields, it is easy to calculate the Poynting vector and, hence, the associated powers. Once the powers associated with the space wave and the surface wave are known, it is possible to define a efficiency.
