Waveguides• The prediction and realization of EM waves in
the late 19th century, but limited to applications e.g. radio and radar transmissions.
• The idea of guided wave was proposed first by J.J. Thomson in 1893, and experimentally verified by O.J. Lodge in 1894.
• The mathematical analysis of the propagatingmodes within a hollow metal cylinder was first
performed by Lord Rayleigh in 1897.
4
Waveguide• At microwave frequencies (3-300 GHz) transmission
lines become inefficient due to- skin effects- dielectric losses
• Therefore use waveguides, lower losses and increased bandwidth
• Waveguides don’t operate at lower frequencies; act as a high pass filter with a cutoff frequency.
5
Any system of conductors and insulators for carrying electromagnetic waves could be called a waveguide But reserve for hollow metallic pipes
They are used at microwave frequencies as TL were used at lower frequencies (less than 20GHz). They have much less lossy at the highest frequencies as compared to TL
Waveguide

A pipe with any sort of cross section could be used but simplest cross section are preferred. Hence constant rectangular , elliptical or circular cross sections are normally employed.Setup i.e. antenna at one end of a waveguide and load at the other end.
Circular Wave Guide

NOTE: Conduction of energy takes place through the dielectric(air) filling the waveguide and not through the walls
The behavior and properties of waveguides is described by electric and magnetic fields as in wave propagation instead of V and I as in TL)
The wall of waveguide is perfect conductor , reflect electromagnetic energy from the surface.
If wall is a perfect conductor and very thin , little current flow in the interior walls and hence very little power is dissipated.
8
• Some selected waveguide size together with their frequency of operation are listed in the table (Kennedy pg290).
• However waveguide dimensions decrease as the frequency is increased (lower the wavelength).
• Waveguide are generally restricted to frequencies above 1GHz.

Basic Behavior in WaveguideAn electromagnetic plane wave in space is transverse-electromagnetic (TEM) which means the electric field, the magnetic field, and the direction of propagation are mutually perpendicular.
What happen if we send the waves straight down a waveguide? It will not propagate in it. The electric field will be short-circuited by the walls (perfect conductor).
10
Trick is to send the waves down the waveguide in zigzag fashion, bouncing it off the walls setting up a field that is maximum at or near the centre of the guide and zero at the walls.
Major consequences of zigzag propagation are :
•The velocity of propagation in a waveguide must be less than in free space•Wave can no longer be TEM
Maxwell’s equation show that TEM wave cannot have a tangential component of the electric field at the wall of the waveguide

American System labels MODES according to the field component that behaves as in free space.
Mode - no component of electric field in the direction of propagation are called transverse-Electric (TE) MODEMode with no such component of magnetic field are called transverse-magnetic (TM)
12
British and European systems label according to the components that has behavior diff from that of free space the modes are called H instead of TE and E for TM

Phase velocity (vp)

cvfp pfv
Phase velocity (vp) :the velocity with which the wave changes phase in a direction parallel to the conducting surface is given by:
gv Velocity in the dir parallel to conducting surface ( velocity at which a wave propagate)
Phase velocity is greater than Vg and Vc but it is just apparent velocity.
17
Addition of the second wall must be placed carefully so that does not disturb the existing wave pattern
The second wall must be placed at a position where the E-intensity due to first wall is zero.

Example1A wave is propagated in a parallel- planewaveguide , under conditions as above discussion. The freq is 6GHz, and the plane separation is 3 cm.Calculate• The cutoff wavelength for dominant mode• The wavelength in a waveguide, also for
dominant mode• The corresponding group and phase velocities.
22
Example2It is necessary to propagate a 10 GHz signal in a waveguide whose wall separation is 6 cm. What is
the greatest number of half-waves of electric intensity which it will be possible to establish between the two walls( i.e what is the largest value of m)?
Calculate the guide wavelength for this mode of propagation.
23
Assume perfectly conducting walls and perfect dielectric filling the wave guide.Convention ‘a’ is always the wider side of the waveguide.
24
The rectangular wave guide has the same TE modes corresponding to the two parallel plate wave guides obtained by considering opposite metal walls
In 1955 (IRE) label modes in rectangular waveguides as TEm,n for transverse –electric and TM m,n for transverse-magnetic
m and n- number of half wavelengths of intensity (electric for TE modes and magnetic for TM mode) between each pair of walls. m is measured along x axis of waveguide, n in other direction
25
TE Modes• Ez = 0• Electric fields are zero at metal interfaces• Slope of magnetic fields are zero at metal
interfaces
Use this to find Ex, Ey, Hx, Hy
Modes of waveguide are written as TMmn and TEmn m is a half cycle variation in the x directionn is a half cycle in variation in the y directionThe lowest TE mode is TE10 or TE01 depending on the geometry of a and b

The rectangular waveguide has a high-pass behavior, since signals
can propagate only if they have frequency higher than the cut-off
for the TE10 mode.

Circular waveguide• In general terms the behavior is the same as in RG.• However different geometry means diff application
hence a separate investigation
• From the analysis of behavior :• The law governing the propagation of waves in
waveguides are independent of the cross sectional shape and dimensions of the guide.
• All the parameters and definitions evolved for RG apply to circular with minor modification
53
Modes are labeled somewhat differently
• The cutoff wavelength must be different due to different geometry
• Where r= internal radius of waveguide• kr= solution of a bessel function equation

Attenuation in waveguide
Waveguide below the cutoff have the following attenuation
• Reflection from obstacles, discontinuites, misaligned waveguide section
• Losses due to currents flowing in the waveguide walls
• Losses in the dielectric filling the waveguide• 2&3 depends on wall material ,its roughness
