Cylindrical Waveguide
Fundamentals (Cont’d..)
By using the same method of derivation for rectangular
waveguide (starting from slide 21), we could get four equations
of Eρ, Eφ, Hρ and Hφ in terms of Ez and Hz

Cylindrical Waveguide Modes
• For TM Mode
For the TM modes of the circular waveguide, we must solve Ez
from the wave equation in cylindrical coordinates, then through
a very long and difficult derivation, we could get the transverse
fields as:

• For TE Mode
For the TE modes of the circular waveguide, we must solve Hz
from the wave equation in cylindrical coordinates, after which
we could get the transverse fields as:

Example I
Find the cutoff frequencies of the first two propagating modes of a Teflon-filled (εr=2.08,
tanδ=0.0004) circular waveguide with a=0.5cm. If the interior of the guide is gold plated, calculated
the overall loss in dB for a 30cm length operating at 14GHz.
