A waveguide consists of a hollow metallic tube used to
guide an electromagnetic wave.
Normally circular or rectangular.
Used principally at frequencies in the microwave
range.
If the waves are propagating in the positive z-
direction, then
TEM (E
z
=H
z
=0) cant propagate.
TE (E
z
=0) transverse electric
In TE mode, the electric lines of flux are
perpendicular to the axis of the waveguide
TM (H
z
=0) transverse magnetic, E
z
exists
In TM mode, the magnetic lines of flux are
perpendicular to the axis of the waveguide.
The

By Helmholtz eqn:-

A solution in the form of-

For lossless dielectric, Maxwells curl eqn. in the frequency
domain are

From these, we conclude:
X(x) is in the form of cos k

where k

Y(y) is in the form of cos k

where k

Substituting
Note that n and m cannot be both zero
because the fields will all be zero.

The order of the next modes change depending on
the dimensions of the guide.
