Assignment 8 ECTE213

1) The cutoff frequencies for the TE01 and TE10 modes in a rectangular waveguide with dimensions a=6cm and b=4cm are fc01=2.5GHz/n and fc10=3.75GHz/n, respectively. 2) The allowed frequency range for single mode operation is 2.5GHz/n < f < 3.75GHz/n. 3) The frequency range that supports both the TE01 and TE10 modes must be less than the cutoff frequency of the next higher order mode, TE11, which is fc11=4.5GHz/n. Therefore, the allowed frequency range is 3.75GHz/n < f < 4.5

Assignment 8:

A rectangular waveguide has dimension a = 6 cm and b = 4 cm

a) The cutoff frequencies for mp mode


𝑐 𝑚 2 𝑝 21
𝑓𝑐𝑚𝑝 = [( ) + ( ) ]2
2𝑛 𝑎 𝑏
Where n is the refractive index of the guide interior.
The frequencies lie between the cutoff frequencies of 𝑇𝐸01 and 𝑇𝐸10

𝑐 0 2 1 2 1 3.75
𝑓𝑐01 = [( ) +( ) ]2 = 𝐺𝐻𝑧
2𝑛 0.06 0.04 𝑛

𝑐 1 2 0 2 1 2.5
𝑓𝑐10 = [( ) +( ) ]2 = 𝐺𝐻𝑧
2𝑛 0.06 0.04 𝑛
Therefore, the range of frequencies for single mode operate

2.5 3.75
<𝑓< 𝐺𝐻𝑧
𝑛 𝑛
b) The frequencies that support both 𝑇𝐸01 and 𝑇𝐸10 must be less than the cutoff frequency for
the next higher order mode. In this case, this will be 𝑓11
𝑐 1 2 1 2 1 4.5
𝑓𝑐11 = [( ) +( ) ]2 = 𝐺𝐻𝑧
2𝑛 0.06 0.04 𝑛
The allowed frequencies range is
3.75 4.5
<𝑓< 𝐺𝐻𝑧
𝑛 𝑛
c) 𝑇𝑀01 mode does not exist in a rectangular waveguide
𝜅𝑚
𝐸𝑥𝑠 = −𝑗𝛽𝑚𝑝 𝐵 cos(𝜅𝑚 𝑥) sin(𝜅𝑝 𝑦) exp(−𝑗𝛽𝑚𝑝 𝑧)
𝜅𝑚𝑝 2
𝜅𝑝
𝐸𝑦𝑠 = −𝑗𝛽𝑚𝑝 𝐵 sin(𝜅𝑚 𝑥) cos(𝜅𝑝 𝑦) exp(−𝑗𝛽𝑚𝑝 𝑧)
𝜅𝑚𝑝 2
𝐸𝑧𝑠 = 𝐵 sin(𝜅𝑚 𝑥) sin(𝜅𝑝 𝑦) exp(−𝑗𝛽𝑚𝑝 𝑧)
𝜅𝑝
𝐻𝑥𝑠 = 𝑗𝜔𝜖 𝐵 sin(𝜅𝑚 𝑥) cos(𝜅𝑝 𝑦) exp(−𝑗𝛽𝑚𝑝 𝑧)
𝜅𝑚𝑝 2
𝜅𝑚
𝐻𝑦𝑠 = −𝑗𝜔𝜖 𝐵 cos(𝜅𝑚 𝑥) sin(𝜅𝑝 𝑦) exp(−𝑗𝛽𝑚𝑝 𝑧)
𝜅𝑚𝑝 2
𝐻𝑧𝑠 = 0
For 𝑇𝑀01mode, putting m=0 and n=1 into above function, we found that all of the fields
component become zero. Therefore, we can conclusion that 𝑇𝑀01 mode does not exist in a
rectangular waveguide.
