Introduction•Microwaves have frequencies > 1 GHz approx.•Stray reactances are more important as frequency increases•Transmission line techniques must be applied to short conductors like circuit board traces•Device capacitance and transit time are important•Cable losses increase: waveguides often used instead

WaveguidesPipe through which waves propagateCan have various cross sectionsRectangularCircularElliptical

Can be rigid or flexibleWaveguides have very low loss

Waveguides

www.advanced.edu.in

Modes•Waves can propagate in various ways•Time taken to move down the guide varies with the mode•Each mode has a cutoff frequency below which it won’t propagate•Mode with lowest cutoff frequency is dominant mode

www.advanced.edu.in

Multimode propagation

Mode Designations

www.advanced.edu.in

•TE: transverse electric•Electric field is at right angles to direction of travel

•TM: transverse magnetic•Magnetic field is at right angles to direction of travel

•TEM: transverse electromagnetic•Waves in free space are TEM

Rectangular Waveguides•Dominant mode is TE101 half cycle along long dimension (a)No half cycles along short dimension (b)Cutoff for a = c/2

•Modes with next higher cutoff frequency are TE01 and TE20Both have cutoff frequency twice that for TE10

Cutoff Frequency•For TE10 mode in rectangular waveguide with a = 2 b

Usable Frequency Range•Single mode propagation is highly desirable to reduce dispersion •This occurs between cutoff frequency for TE10 mode and twice that frequency•It’s not good to use guide at the extremes of this range

www.advanced.edu.in

Group Velocity•Waves propagate at speed of light c in guide•Waves don’t travel straight down guide•Speed at which signal moves down guide is the group velocity and is always less than c

Phase Velocity•Not a real velocity (>c)•Apparent velocity of wave along wall •Used for calculating wavelength in guide•For impedance matching etc.

Impedance Matching•Same techniques as for coax can be used•Tuning screw can add capacitance or inductance

www.advanced.edu.in

Coupling Power to Guides•3 common methods

◦ Probe: at an E-field maximum◦ Loop: at an H-field maximum◦ Hole: at an E-field maximum

www.advanced.edu.in

Coupling power to a waveguide

www.advanced.edu.in

Directional Coupler•Launches or receives power in only 1 direction•Used to split some of power into a second guide•Can use probes or holes

www.advanced.edu.in

Two-hole directional coupler

www.advanced.edu.in

Passive Components•Bends

◦Called E-plane or H-Plane bends depending on the direction of bending

•Tees◦Also have E and H-plane varieties◦Hybrid or magic tee combines both and can be used for isolation

SUMMARY•The basic concept of transverse waves travelling in a waveguide .•Waveguide acts as a guide to any wave and it acts as a high-pass filter which allows frequencies higher than the cut-off frequency to pass through it.
