    EXPERIMENT 2
    Date: 12/02/2021
    AIM: Design and simulate circular waveguide using CST.

    THEORY:

    A waveguide is a hollow metal tube (rectangular or circular in cross section) that transmits
    electromagnetic energy from one place to another. A waveguide with a circular cross-section
    is called as Circular Waveguide. It supports both transverse electric (TE) and transverse
    magnetic (TM) modes. TE11 is the dominant mode in a circular waveguide i.e., a signal in this
    mode propagates with the minimum degradation.

    The circular waveguide is easier to manufacture than rectangular waveguides and is relatively
    easy to install. It is usually used to connect a horn antenna with a reflector in tracking radars
    and for long-distance waveguide transmission above 10 GHz.

    The cut-off frequency of a circular waveguide for TE11 mode is given by:

    1.841 × 𝑐
    𝑓𝑐 =
    2𝜋𝑎

    where, c is the speed of light and a is the radius of the circular waveguide.

    For a = 5 mm, 𝑓𝑐 = 17.58𝐺𝐻𝑧.

    PROCEDURE:

    1. Click on New Template to create a new project template.

    2. Click on the MW & RF & OPTICAL → Click on Antennas → Then click NEXT

    5. Select the following range and E-field monitor as we know the dominant mode is TE11
    and its cut-off frequency is 17.58 GHz

    6. Give a desired name to your template and click Finish.

    7. In the Modelling tab, Shapes section, select Cylinder. Press Esc key to show dialog box
    → In the dialog box shown, set the following values for the Outer Cylinder → In the
    Material drop-down menu, Load material from library, then select Copper (Annealed).

    8. Repeat the Step 7 with outer radius 5mm (mm is the initially set unit) for Inner
    Cylinder.

    9. In the Navigation Tree, click on Outer Cylinder in the components section → In the
    Modelling tab, Tools section, click on Boolean → Click on Subtract from the drop-
    down menu → Click on Inner Cylinder in the components section in the Navigation
    Tree.

    10. In the Modelling tab, Picks section, click on Picks → click on Pick Face from the drop-
    down menu. → Double click on the flat edge of the hollow cylinder.

    11. In the Simulation tab, Sources and Loads section, click on Waveguide port. → In the
    Waveguide Port dialog box, Position section, update values as shown.

    12. Repeat Steps 10 & 11 on the other edge.

    13. In the Simulation tab, Solver section, click on Setup Solver shown above. If the
    frequency range dialog box shows, set the range from 15GHz – 19GHz, click OK. In
    the Time Domain Solver Parameters dialog box, click on Start. The simulation begins.

    14. After the simulation completes, you can find 1D and 2D/3D results in their respective
    sections in the Navigation tree.

    Conclusion:

    From the experiment, we can observe the field patterns of various modes inside a circular
    waveguide in xy, yz and zx planes. Here, one can observe the field patterns for various
    frequency bands. One can correlate the above-mentioned field equations with the field patterns
    of various modes and can develop better understanding of the modes of the circular
    waveguides.
