8.18 a) From the use of Greens theorem in two dimensions show that the TM and TE
modes in a waveguide defined by the boundary-value problems (8.34) and (8.36)
are orthogonal in the sense that
Z

[2t + 2 ] = 0
where either
|S = 0 TM modes
or

To prove orthogonality, note that and satisfy the equations
[2t + 2 ] = 0, [2t + 2 ] = 0
(2 2 ) = 2t 2t
Integrating this over the cross-sectional area, and using Greens theorem yields

where we have used an inward pointing normal direction. We now note that
the right hand side vanishes for either TM or TE boundary conditions. Thus,
provided 2 6= 2 , we end up with

For non-degenerate eigenvalues, we conclude that

For degenerate eigenvalues, we note that linearity of the wave equation guarantees
that we may find an orthogonal basis using, e.g., a Gram-Schmidt orthogonaliza-
tion process.
b) Prove that the relations (8.131)(8.134) form a consistent set of normalization
conditions for the fields, including the circumstances when is a TM mode and
is a TE mode.
We start with relation (8.131), which states

When properly normalized for = , this gives (8.131) for two TM modes. The
case of two TE modes is similar. We have

we we have noted that z ~ t = 0 identically (since the transverse gradient is
orthogonal to z). The proof of orthogonality of two TE modes then follows using
the same integration method that was used above for the TM modes (but with
Ez replaced by Hz , and with Hz /n vanishing on the boundary). Finally, for
one TE mode and one TM mode, we have
Z Z
~ ~ k ~ t Ez, (z

This integral vanishes because Ez, vanishes on the boundary. As a result, all
TE modes are orthogonal to all TM modes. Proper normalization then results in
(8.131).
We now turn to relation (8.132), which states
Z
~ t, da = 1 ,

The relation (8.134) essentially normalizes the modes for the TM and TE case.
Examination of (2) for TM modes and (3) for TE modes indicates that the proper
normalization is

8.19 The figure shows a cross-sectional view of an infinitely long rectangular waveguide with
the center conductor of a coaxial line extending vertically a distance h into its interior
at z = 0. The current along the probe oscillates sinusoidally in time with frequency
, and its variation in space can be approximated as I(y) = I0 sin[(/c)(h y)]. The
thickness of the probe can be neglected. The frequency is such that only the TE10
mode can propagate in the guide.
a) Calculate the amplitudes for excitation of both TE and TM modes for all (m, n)
and show how the amplitudes depend on m and n for m, n 1 for a fixed
frequency .
Before calculating the amplitudes, we work out the normalization for the rectan-
gular waveguide normal modes. For the TM modes, we recall that
mx ny
Ez = E0 sin sin
a b

~ t = ikmn
E ~ t Ez Ey =

where
2 m2 n2
2 2 2 2
kmn = 2 mn , mn = +
c a2 b2
We have explicitly written out the y component above, since it will be needed to
calculate the amplitude for excitation. Noting that sin2 averages to 1/2, the TM
normalization condition (4) gives
ab 2 2 2imn
E0 = mn

E0 =
4 kmn kmn ab
Similarly, the TE modes are
mx ny
Hz = H0 cos cos
a b
i i0 m mx ny (6)
~ t = 0 z
E ~ t Hz Ey = H0 sin cos

mn 2
mn a a b
with normalization
ab 2 2 2imn
H0 = 2mn2 H0 =
4 0 0 ab
where Zmn = kmn /0 for TM modes and Zmn = 0 /kmn for TE modes. The
source current density may be written as
Hence Z h
Zmn
A()
mn = I0 ()
sin[ c (h y)]Ey,mn (X, y, 0) dy
2 0
where Ey,mn is given by (5) for TM modes and (6) for TE modes. Since we only
need the electric field at z = 0, we see that this expression is independent of
whether we choose a left-moving or a right-moving mode. As a result, the (+)
and () amplitudes will be equally excited. For the TM mode of (5), we evaluate

which gives

According to the specifications of this problem, all the TM modes are cutoff
modes. For large m, n 1 the wavenumber is imaginary, kmn imn . Hence
for fixed , we see that

provided the trig functions are O(1) and do not vanish. For the TE mode of (6),
we note that the amplitude calculation is identical, except for a different constant
factor. The TE result is

where we have made sure to use the normalization appropriate for an n = 0 mode.
b) For the propagating mode show that the power radiated in the positive z direction
is

with an equal amount in the opposite direction. Here k is the wave number for
the TE10 mode.
For an expansion in properly normalized normal modes, the radiated power in
the +z direction is given by

Pmn = A

Using the amplitude coefficient (7) for the TE10 mode, we find

c) Discuss the modifications that occur if the guide, instead of running off to infinity
in both directions, is terminated with a perfectly conducting surface at z = L.
What values of L with maximize the power flow for a fixed current I0 ? What is
the radiation resistance of the probe (defined as the ratio of power flow to one-half
the square of the current at the base of the probe) at maximum?
If we place a perfectly conducting surface at z = L (we take L positive), then
the right-moving wave will be perfectly reflected at this surface. As a result,
the wave flowing out of the left end (z < 0) of the waveguide will be the linear
superposition of two components: the left-moving wave generated by the probe,
and the right-moving wave reflected off of the conducting surface at z = L. We
further note that, since Ek must vanish at the surface of a perfect conductor,
the reflected wave must come back 180 out of phase. We start by writing the
left-moving wave as
E~ () = A() E
~ t,10 eikz
10
~ (+) = A(+) E
E ~ t,10 eikz
10
~ (refl) = A(+) E
E ~ t,10 eik(2Lz)

~ (+) (z = L) + E
E ~ (refl) (z = L) = 0
~ =E
E ~ (refl) = (A() A(+) e2ikL )E
~ () + E ~ t,10 eikz = A10 (1 e2ikL )E
~ t,10 eikz
10 10
kL = (n + 12 )
Since the amplitude doubles, the power is increased by a factor of four compared
with (8). For this maximum power case, the radiation resistance is given by

9.3 Two halves of a spherical metallic shell of radius R and infinite conductivity are sepa-
rated by a very small insulating gap. An alternating potential is applied between the
two halves of the sphere so that the potentials are V cos t. In the long-wavelength
limit, find the radiation fields, the angular distribution of radiated power, and the
total radiated power from the sphere.
In the long wavelength limit, we may appeal to the multipole expansion of the
source. In this case, the source is essentially a harmonically (eit ) varying
version of the electrostatic problem with hemispheres at opposite potential. The
long wavelength limit is also equivalent to the low frequency limit. In this case, it
is valid to think of the source as a quasi-static object. Using azimuthal symmetry,
the potential then admits an expansion in Legendre polynomials

where p~ret = p~(t0 = t r/c) is the dipole moment evaluated at the retarded time

where tret = t r/c. Since is a function of time t0 , we make the expansion
