Abstract: The rectangular waveguide characteristics and field distribution for different modes in an open ended rectangular
waveguide when the waveguide is in the free space is computed using HFSS software. The analysis is made for different
parameters. The electric and magnetic fields strengths are analyzed inside a rectangular waveguide along with fundamental
modal distributions. Simulation analysis is carried out for X-band. Characteristic profiles are analyzed and the performance
of rectangular waveguide is studied. Theoretical analysis and simulation are carried out for waveguide and both results are
compared. A HFSS simulation platform for the analysis of the aperture radiation from a dielectric filled rectangular
waveguide is described.
Keywords- Rectangular waveguide, HFSS, Field distribution, Propagation constant.

Where Ez and Hz are the components of the electric
and magnetic field along the z- direction for TE and
TM waves respectively. The mode which having
lowest cutoff frequency in a particular waveguide is
called dominant mode. The dominant mode in a
rectangular waveguide with dimension a > b is the
TE10 mode. It is a mode which is used for practically
all electromagnetic transmission in the rectangular
waveguide. Dominant mode is almost always a low
loss, distortion less transmission and higher modes
result in a significant loss of power and also
undesirable harmonic distortion.
The cutoff frequency for the TEmn mode is given by
