Abstract

Fractional solutions of a parallel plate waveguide originally with impedance walls have been derived and fractional impedance of the guiding walls have been investigated. Two distinct ranges ofw all impedance have been found in which fractional impedance behaves in opposite ways. For 0 < α < 1, the fractional impedance is inductive in range 1 and is capacitive in range 2, where α is fractional parameter. For 1 < α < 2, the fractional impedance is capacitive in range 1 and is inductive in range 2. At the boundary ofthe two ranges, the fractional impedance is independent of α and is resistive. This behavior is periodic with period α = 2.
