PROBLEM 9:
Problem 10 . An air-filled rectangular waveguide has dimensions of a = 6 cm and b = 4 cm. The signal frequency is
3 GHz. Compute the following for the TE 10 and TM11 modes:
(a) Cut-off frequency
(b) Wavelength in the waveguide
(c) Phase constant and phase velocity
(d) Group velocity in the waveguide.

Solution. Given a = 6 cm
b = 4 cm
f = 3 GHz
(a) We know that cut-off frequency of waveguide
Problem 11. The dimensions of a rectangular waveguide are a = 2.5 em and b = 1 em.
The signal frequency is 8.6 GHz. The determine the following:
(a) Possible modes
(b) Cut-off frequencies.

Solution. For TE mode

Given a = 2.5 cm b = 1 cm f = 8.6 GHz


The condition for wave to propagate is fc < f
For propagation in waveguide, signal frequency should greater than cut-off frequency. We know that

Now for TM11 mode, cut-off frequency will be same as the TE11 mode. So TM11 mode and other high modes are not
possible. From the above analysis we conclude that only TE10 mode is possible.

Problem 12. For a dominant mode in an air filled rectangular waveguide, for a signal frequency of 9 GHz and
guide wavelength is 4 cm. Determine the dimension of the waveguide.
