PROBLEM 1: A rectangular waveguide has a cross-sectional area of 2.29 × 1.45 cm2, and the operating
frequency is 10 GHz. Calculate the following (a) Free space wavelength; (b) Cut-off wavelength; (c) Cut-
off frequency; (d) Angle of incidence; (e) Guided wavelength; (f ) Phase velocity; (g) Phase shift constant;
(h) Wave impedance of the guide.
PROBLEM 2: An air-filled rectangular waveguide has dimensions a = 6 cm and b = 4 cm. The signal
frequency is 4 GHz. Compute the cut-off frequency for the TE10, TE01, TE11, and TM11 modes.
Solution:
PROBLEM 6: An air-filled rectangular cavity resonator has a = d = 2 cm, and b = 1 cm and is operated in
the TE101 mode Calculate (i) resonant frequency; (ii) if the cavity is filled with a dielectric of relative
permittivity 2.5, what is the resonant frequency?
PROBLEM 7: A rectangular cavity resonator is 10 × 8 × 6 cm. Find the resonating frequency for the TE111
mode.
Problem 8:
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.
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.
Problem 13. A microstrip line is constructed of copper conductor and nylon phenolic board has the following
