Chapter 14. Waveguide and Antenna Fundamentals Basic Waveguide Operation
Transmission Line(Fig. 14.6(a)) Voltage applied between conductors( E: vertically between the conductors) Interior fields: TEM wave (wave vector indicates the direction of wave travel as well as the direction of power flow) Waveguide (Fig. 14.6(b)) Zig-zag reflection, waveguide mode, cutoff frequency
Two Types of weveguide modes TE(Transverse electric) mode E parallel to the transverse plane of the waveguide TM(Transverse magnetic) mode H is within the transverse plane of the waveguide
