\section{Discussion of Results}
Since B-field is higher than critical B-field next to source, waves close to source propagate along density minimum, and then work their way up to density maximum. As they travel into a region of lower magnetic field, the frequency becomes larger than $\frac{f_{ce}}{2}$, making the wavefronts travel along density maximums, as expected by theory. The simulation used did not match the results,
the most
probably probable reason because it did not take into account a changing magnetic field along the z-axis. The polarization of the ducted waves were found to be right-hand elliptical, suggesting wavefronts were propagating at an angle against the field lines, which were observed in the measurements.
