The present paper is devoted to a study of TE surface modes along a ferrite‐dielectric interface, the ferrite magnetization being parallel to the interface. For a transverse propagation with respect to magnetization, two TE‐modes can be found. These unidirectional modes are respectively forward and reverse. The “magnetostatic mode” includes the Damon‐Eshbach mode. The “dynamic mode”, which presents a very wide bandwidth, includes the mode recently described by Hines. Our investigation, carried out on a schematic configuration, gives simple results, which clearly point out the physical behaviour of these very interesting modes.
