Waveguides Parallel plate waveguide Retangular Waveguides Cirular Waveguide Dieletri Waveguide 1
Waveguides In the previous hapters, a pair of ond utors was used to guide eletromagne ti wave propagation. This propagatio n was via the transverse eletromagnet i (TEM) mode, meaning both the ele tri and magneti field omponents we re transverse, or perpendiular, to the diretion of propagation. In this hapter we investigate wave-gu iding strutures that support propagati on in non-tem modes, namely in the t ransverse eletri (TE) and transverse magneti (TM) modes. In general, the term waveguide refers t o onstruts that only support non-te M mode propagation. Suh onstruts share an important trait: they are unabl e to support wave propagation below a ertain frequeny, termed the utoff fre queny.
