Abstract. Limits for propagation of the azimuthally symmetric electromagnetic E0  modes  along the dissipative both conductive and dielectric (water) rods were experimentally determined. It was shown that propagation of the Sommerfeld surface wave in a conductive rod is limited by the condition of equality skin-depth and the rod radius. As for the propagation in microwave range E0 wave inside the water-rod analogously with “opto-fiber”, it is limited by the cutoff frequency of dielectric waveguide, without any dependence on salt concentration in water.

Keywords: surface wave, conductivity, microwave, skin-depth, dielectric, waveguide, dissipation, cutoff, water, electrolyte.
