Transverse Magnetic(TM)
the magnetic field that is transverse and an
electric field component is in the propagation
direction.
The order of the mode refers to the field
configuration in the guide, and is given by m
and n integer subscriptsTMmn.
The m subscript corresponds to the number of half-wave variations of
the field in the x direction, and
The n subscript is the number of half-wave variations in the y direction.

Poynting Vector
a quantity describing the magnitude and
direction of the flow of energy in
electromagnetic waves
represents the directional energy flux density
(the rate of energy transfer per unit area, in
watts per square metre (Wm2)) of an
electromagnetic field
MENU
Poynting Vector
S=EXH
S = (1/)E B
where;
E= electric field, H= magnetic field,
B= magnetic flux density
MENU
Boundary condition
Electromagnetic waves do not pass through
conductors, but rather, they are reflected.
Any electric field that touches a conductor
must be perpendicular to it.
Any magnetic field close to a conductor must
be parallel to it.
MENU
MENU
Plane wave
MENU
Spherical waves
Spherical waves arise physically from "point"
sources. If a point source emits waves
uniformly in all directions, then we expect the
waves to depend only on the radial distance, r
from the point source.
MENU
Plane wave
constant-frequency wave whose wavefronts
(surfaces of constant phase) are infinite
parallel planes of constant peak-to-peak
amplitude normal to the phase velocity
vector.

Lets determine the TE mode impedance
looking into a 20 cm long section of
shorted WR90 waveguide operating at 10
GHz.
From the Waveguide Table 7.1, a = 0.9 inch (or) 2.286 cm and b = 0.450 inch
(or) 1.143 cm.

Bends
accommodate the necessary turns in an
installation
The H bend of Figure 5.8 (a) is used to turn a
90 corner. The E bend (Figure 5.8 (b)) also
completes a 90 turn in either an upward or
downward direction. The twist of Figure 5.8(c)
is used to effect a shift in the polarization of
the wave.
MENU
Tees
act as power combiners, power splitters, and
isolators
series tee acts as phase-splitter transformer.
The magic tee combines the characteristics of
both the series and shunt tees. It is often
used as a transmit-receive switch in noncritical application.
MENU
Attenuators
to weaken a signal in a controlled fashion
control the output power level of an oscillator
or other RF source
variable attenuator can be built by using a
flap of resistive material that can be lowered
into the waveguide

MENU
Isolator
An isolator is a two-port device that
transmits microwave or radio frequency
power in one direction only. It is used to
shield equipment on its input side, from the
effects of conditions on its output side; for
example, to prevent a microwave source
being detuned by a mismatched load.
MENU
Circulator
A circulator is a passive non-reciprocal(nonshared) three- or four-port device, in which a
microwave or radio frequency signal entering
any port is transmitted to the next port in
rotation (only). A port in this context is a
point where an external waveguide or
transmission line (such as a microstrip line or
a coaxial cable), connects to the device
MENU
Mixer
device that performs the task of frequency
conversion, by multiplying two signals .
Mixers are needed in most microwave
systems because the RF signal is way too high
to process its information (for example,
looking for a Doppler shift in an X-band radar
application, you won't find many A/D
converters than can handle 10 GHz!)
MENU
Attenuation
attenuator circuit consists solely of passive
resistor elements, it is linear and reciprocal. If
the circuit is also made symmetrical (this is
usually the case since it is usually required
that the input and output impedances Z1 and
Z2 are equal) then the input and output ports
are not distinguished, but by convention the
left and right sides of the circuits are referred
to as input and output, respectively.
MENU
Source
Various causes of attenuation such as
rain attenuation,
attenuation due to trees,
long distance attenuation,
other climatic factors such as snow, wind, fog
etc
MENU
Characteristic
Attenuation expressed in decibels of relative power. A
3dB pad reduces power to one half, 6dB to one
fourth, 10dB to one tenth, 20dB to one hundredth,
30dB to one thousandth and so on. For voltage you
double the dBs so for example 6dB is half in voltage.
Frequency bandwidth, for example DC-18 GHz
Power dissipation depends on mass and surface area
of resistance material as well as possible additional
cooling fins.
SWR is the standing wave ratio for input and output
ports
