EM Waveguiding Overview • Waveguidemay refer to any structure that conveys electromagnetic waves between its endpoints • Most common meaning is a hollow metal pipe used to carry radio waves • May be used to transport radiation of a single frequency • Transverse Electric (TE) modes have E┴kg (propagation wavevector) • Transverse Magnetic (TM) modes have B┴kg • Transverse Electric-Magnetic modes (TEM) have E, B┴kg • A cutoff frequency exists, below which no radiation propagates
