Rectangular waveguide b a Cut-off frequency of TE or TM mode Conductor attenuation for TE 10
Example Given that a= 2. 286 cm , b=1. 016 cm and s=5. 8 x 107 S/m. What are the mode and attenuation for 10 GHz? Using this equation to calculate cutoff frequency of each mode
Calculation TE 10 a=2. 286 mm, b=1. 016 mm, m=1 and n=0 , thus we have Similarly we can calculate for other modes
Example TE 10 6. 562 GHz TE 20 TE 01 13. 123 GHz 14. 764 GHz TE 11 16. 156 GHz Frequency 10 Ghz is propagating in TE 10. mode since this frequency is below the 13. 123 GHz (TE 20) and above 6. 561 GHz (TE 10)
continue or
Evanescent mode Mode that propagates below cutoff frequency of a wave guide is called evanescent mode Wave propagation constant is Where kc is referred to cutoff frequency, g is referred to propagation in waveguide and b is in space When f 0< fc , But g = a +jb a=attenuation Since no propagation then The wave guide become attenuator b=phase constant
Cylindrical waveguide a TE mode Dominant mode is TE 11
continue a TM mode TM 01 is preferable for long haul transmission
Example Find the cutoff wavelength of the first four modes of a circular waveguide of radius 1 cm Refer to tables TE modes 1 st mode 2 nd mode TM modes 3 rd &4 th modes
Calculation 1 st mode Pnm= 1. 841, TE 11 2 nd mode Pnm= 2. 405, TM 01 1 st mode Pnm= 3. 832, TE 01 and TM 11
