    Guided Waves

    1) A waveguide is a structure that can transport electromagnetic waves between parallel planes. Transverse electromagnetic (TEM) waves have electric and magnetic fields that are both transverse to the direction of propagation. 2) The guided wavelength is the wavelength in the direction of propagation within the waveguide. For a TEM wave, the cut-off frequency is zero, meaning frequencies down to zero can propagate. 3) A TEM wave's velocity is independent of frequency, unlike transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) waves. The wave impedance of a TEM wave is the intrinsic impedance of the medium between the planes.

    GUIDED WAVES BETWEEN PARALLEL PLANES

    What is wave? Give some typical examples.


    A wave can be defined as a means of transporting energy from source to destination .In general,
    the wave is a function of space as well as time .The typical examples of EM waves are radio
    waves ,TV signals ,radar beams and light rays.
    What is meant by TEM wave?
    When the components of electric and magnetic fields in the wave, both are transverse to the
    direction of propagation of wave, then such a wave is called TEM wave i.e. transverse
    electromagnetic wave.
    Define guided wavelength.
    The wavelength is defined as the distance travelled for the phase shift through 2 radius .Thus
    wavelength is given by,
    2
    g



    This is the wavelength in the direction of propagation of a guide. Hence this wavelength is also
    called guide wavelength and is denoted by
    g

    What are the characteristics of principal wave?
    a) The fields are entirely transverse
    b) Along the direction normal to the direction of propagation ,the amplitude of field components
    are constant.
    c) The velocity of propagation is given by v=
    0 0
    1
    c

    .Thus the velocity of TEM wave is
    independent of frequency ,unlike TE and TM waves.
    d) The cut-off frequency of the wave is zero, indicating all the frequencies down to zero can
    propagate along the guide.
    e) The ratio of amplitude of E to H between the parallel planes is defined as the intrinsic
    conductor
    What is the cut-off frequency of TEM wave?
    The cut-off frequency of TEM waves between two parallel conducting planes is zero. The cut-off
    frequency can be defined as the frequency at which the propagation constant changes from being
    real to imaginary. In other words, it is the frequency below which the signal suffers only
    attenuation, while above it ,wave is just starting to propagate.
    Write the expression for the wave impedance of TE, TM and TEM waves between parallel
    planes.
    Wave impedance for TE waves : Z
