    Abstract

    The Lorentz transformation of plane-wave-like solutions and general waveguide modes is analyzed. A propagation and attenuation tensor is introduced. General Doppler equations and invariant phase quantities are shown to be simple consequences of the formalism. The concept of dispersion is discussed and a covariant condition connected with this concept is given. Covariant wave equations and dispersion relations are derived in a simple manner. The dispersion relations are used to analyze some special waveguide solutions including cutoff phenomena. ©1971 The American Institute of Physics
