propagation of electromagnetic wave.

Wave propagating in free space is known as


the TEM mode (Transverse Electromagnetic).

TEM Wave (Transverse Electromagnetic)


have magnet field component, electric
field and propagation direction that
perpendicular between one another.

Types of Propagation Mode


Electromagnetic (EM) waves propagate in
transverse modes.
THREE (3 ) types :
i) Transverse electromagnetic (TEM)
ii) Transverse electric (TE)
iii) Transverse magnetic (TM)

Illustration
The common mode used
to describe EM
propagation is the TEM,
or Transverse
ElectroMagnetic, mode,
where neither the electric
field nor the magnetic
field of the wave is in the
direction of propagation

Wave propagating in free space is known as


the TEM mode (Transverse Electromagnetic).

TEM Wave (Transverse Electromagnetic)


have magnet field component, electric
field and propagation direction that
perpendicular between one another.

A mode whose electric field


vector is normal to the
direction of propagation.
TE modes may be useful
modes in waveguides. In an
optical fiber, TE and TM
modes correspond to
meridional rays.

Mode TE ( Transverse Electric )


The electric field at right angles
(perpendicular) to the direction of
propagation and the magnetic field
components in line with the direction of
propagation.
TE mode are also known as E mode

A mode whose magnetic


field vector is normal to
the direction of
propagation

Mode TM ( Transverse Magnetic)


Magnetic field at right angles
(perpendicular) to the direction of
propagation, while the electric
field components in line with the direction of
propagation.
TM mode are also known as H mode

Method of Microwave Propagation in wave guide is a "zig-zag.


There are two forms of propagation of the effect of:
velocity of propagation in wave guide less compared with
propagation in free space
wavelength less compared electromagnetic
wave cross due to
propagation from reflection method need not just normal
component but also component in propagation
direction whether electric field or magnetic field depends
on how wave mode propagated in the waveguide.

Poynting Vector
Electromagnetic waves carry energy as they
travel through empty space. There is an
energy density associated with both the
electric and magnetic fields.
Poynting vector represents the directional
energy flux density of an electromagnetic
field.
It is named after its inventor John Henry
Poynting
