TLDR
In this paper, the authors propose a sandwich vehicle structure that allows for the confined propagation of electromagnetic radiation within the sandwich vehicle, where the core is composed of a core medium and a plurality of spaced apart core members embedded in the core medium.Abstract:
A sandwich vehicle structure may allow for confined propagation of electromagnetic radiation within the sandwich vehicle structure. The sandwich vehicle structure may include at least one upper conducting plate, at least one lower conducting plate, and a core extending between the upper and lower conducting plates. The core may comprise a core medium, and a plurality of spaced apart core members embedded in the core medium and extending between the upper and lower conducting plates. The core medium and the core members may allow for the propagation of electromagnetic radiation within the core.read more
