The features of the guided TE modes propagation have been investigated on the basis of computer simulations in a planar structure consisting of a set of alternating layers of dielectric and graphene. Within the framework of the effective medium approximation, the dispersion relations have been received for symmetric and antisymmetric waveguide modes, determined by the frequency range of their existence. The wave field distribution by structure, frequency dependences of the constants of propagation and transverse components of the wave vectors, as well as group and phase velocities of waveguide modes have been obtained, the effect of the graphene part in a structure on the waveguide mode behavior has been shown.
