1. Transverse electromagnetic (TEM) waves are called principal waves as they have no component of electric or magnetic field in the direction of propagation. 2. A waveguide is a hollow metallic tube that guides electromagnetic waves along its walls. TEM waves propagate in waveguides and do not have Ez or Hz components. 3. Cutoff wavelength refers to the wavelength below which waves cannot propagate in a waveguide. Waves with wavelengths greater than the cutoff wavelength will not be guided by the waveguide.

Unit -III PART A

1. Define principal waves


Transverse Electromagnetic(TEM) waves are called principal waves. In TEM
both electric and magnetic fields are entirely transverse. No component of Ez and
Hz. So Ez=0; Hz=0.

2. Define waveguides.
Waveguide is a hollow metallic tube of uniform cross section (rectangular or
circular) in which the electromagnetic waves are propagated. Waves that are
guided along the walls of the tube are called guided waves.

3. Mention the characteristics of TEM waves.


It is a special type of TM wave.
It does not have either Ez or Hz component. So Ez=0; Hz=0
It is also known as principal waves.

4. What is cut off wavelength?


c = 2a/m where a= separation between plates. m= mode.
The wave having the wavelength greater than c will not be propagated.

5. What is the dominant mode for TE and TM waves between parallel planes?
The lowest order mode is called Dominant mode. Dominant mode for TE is
TE10.
Dominant mode for TM is TM11.

6. What is the wave impedence for TE and TM wave ?


Wave impedance(Z) is the ratio of electric field intensity(E) to magnetic field
intensity(H). ZTM =. √(1-fc/f)2 ZTE= / √(1-fc/f)2 where  is
the characteristic impedance or intrinsic impedance.

7. What is called wave impedence ?


Wave impedance(Z) is the ratio of electric field intensity(E) to magnetic field
intensity(H). Z=E/H. Unit: ohm.
8. What do you mean by TM waves?
TM(Transverse Magnetic) waves or E waves are the waves in which there is a
component of electric field in the direction of propagation (Ez) but there is no
component of magnetic field(Hz) in the direction of propagation Hz=0.

9. Write down the expression for cut off frequency when the wave is
propagated in between two parallel plates.
Cut off frequency(fc)is the frequency at which the wave propagation stops. fc=m/
(2a√). Unit: Hz

10. Distinguish TE and TM waves.



Unit –IV PART A


1. A rectangular waveguide has the following dimensions l=2.54cm, b=1.27cm,
thickness= 0.127m. Calculate cutoff frequency for TE11 mode.

Fc=1/(2) √ . √(m/a)2 + (n/b)2 ; m=1 n=1 a=2.54cm;b=1.27cm


Fc =( c/2 ) √(m/a)2 + (n/b)2
Fc =13.2 GHz.

2. Why waveguide is taken circular or rectangular form?


Waveguides usually take the form of rectangular or circular cylinders because
of its simpler form in use and & less expensive to manufacture.

3. Define Transverse Electric waves.


TM(Transverse Electric) waves or H waves are the waves in which there is a
component of magnetic field in the direction of propagation (Hz) but there is no
component of electric field(Ez) in the direction of propagation Ez=0.

4. Mention the applications of waveguide.


Waveguides are used as attenuators and phase shifters.

5. Why rectangular or circular cavities can be used as microwave resonators?


Rectangular or circular cavities can be used as microwave resonators
