Abstract
The relativistic effects on the TM-modes of one boundary corrugated parallel plate waveguide filled with uniaxial warm drifting plasma have been investigated. The dispersion relation for the TM-modes has been derived and the numerical computations have been carried out to study the effects of increased (relativistic) drift velocity and the temperature under this condition. The effects of drift velocity are quite distinct and significant over the non-relativistic case. The effect of temperature in the relativistic case is remarkably insignificant unlike the non-relativistic case where it was quite pronounced.
