Uniform Waveguides

We are interested in finding what electromagnetic field solutions are possible in a uniform infinite waveguide with no sources.

We can always find those solutions by solving:

or

Subject to boundary conditions.

Uniform Waveguides

This is really three PDEs


Uniform Waveguides



That’s a lot of work!Are there any shortcuts?

Case I:

is real and the mode propagates without attenuation

Case II:

is imaginary and the wave decays exponentially


TM Modes

At the point

the mode changes from evanescent to propagating.
