Abstract:Background. The problems of electromagnetic wave propagation in open metal-dielectric structures are important in the study of waveguides. The purpose of the article is to numerically study a problem of the leaky and surface TE-electromagnetic wave propagation in the Goubau line. Material and methods. A numerical method for solving the problem is based on a version of the parameter shooting method. Results. A numerical method for solving the propagation problem of the leaky and surface TE-electromagnetic waves in the Goubau line was developed and implemented, and several numerical experiments were carried out. Conclusions. The developed method allows one to classify electromagnetic TE-waves in the Goubau line.
