A closed waveguide is an electromagnetic waveguide (a) that is tubular, usually with a circular or rectangular cross section, (b) that has electrically conducting walls, (c) that may be hollow or filled with a dielectric material, (d) that can support a large number of discrete propagating modes, though only a few may be practical, (e) in which ...
An acoustic waveguide is a physical structure for guiding sound waves. Sound in an acoustic waveguide behaves like electromagnetic waves on a transmission line. Waves on a string, like the ones in a tin can telephone, are a simple example of an acoustic waveguide. Another example are pressure waves in the pipes of an organ.
In rectangular waveguides, rectangular mode numbers are designated by two suffix numbers attached to the mode type, such as TE mn or TM mn, where m is the number of half-wave patterns across the width of the waveguide and n is the number of half-wave patterns across the height of the waveguide. In circular waveguides, circular modes exist and ...
A strip waveguide is basically a strip of the layer confined between cladding layers. The simplest case is a rectangular waveguide, which is formed when the guiding layer of the slab waveguide is restricted in both transverse directions rather than just one. Rectangular waveguides are used in integrated optical circuits and in laser diodes.
Pyramidal horn (fig. a) – a horn antenna with the horn in the shape of a four-sided pyramid, with a rectangular cross section. They are a common type, used with rectangular waveguides, and radiate linearly polarized radio waves. [12] Sectoral horn – A pyramidal horn with only one pair of sides flared and the other pair parallel. It produces ...
The most common modes used are the dominant modes: TE 101 in rectangular waveguide, and TE 111 in circular waveguide. TE 011 circular mode is used where very low loss (hence high Q) is required but cannot be used in a dual-mode filter because it is circularly symmetric. Better modes for rectangular waveguide in dual-mode filters are TE 103 and ...
The E-plane and H-plane are reference planes for linearly polarized waveguides, antennas and other microwave devices. In waveguide systems, as in the electric circuits, it is often desirable to be able to split the circuit power into two or more fractions. In a waveguide system, an element called a junction is used for power division.
A magic T consisting of four rectangular waveguides meeting in a single three-dimensional junction. A magic tee (or magic T or hybrid tee) is a hybrid or 3 dB coupler used in microwave systems. [1] It is an alternative to the rat-race coupler.
