To measure wavelength of microwave signal inside guided medium

(g)
Theory
Whenever there is a mismatch of impedance between transmission line
and load, reflections will occur and standing wave will be created,here short
circuit load has been used which is mismatched load therefore reflection
has occurred.
As below

Incident wave

Rr load short
Reflected wave ckt
Standing wave pattern
Whenever there is a mismatch of impedance between transmission line
and load, reflections will occur. If the incident signal is a continuous AC
waveform, these reflections will mix with more of the oncoming incident
waveform to produce stationary waveforms called standing waves. And
pattern formed is known as standing wave pattern.

Null point
Emax

X1…….g/2…………….X2…….. g/2 …………X3

Distance along waveguide

So
X2 - X1= 1/2*g
X3 – X2= 1/2*g
X3 – X1 = g
Thus
g1= 2(X2 – X1);
g2 = 2(X3 – X2);
g3 = (X3 – X1);
Finally Average g=(g1+g2+g3)/3 ;
Analytical Data
1/g1^2=1/0^2+1/c^2

 g=(0c)/√1/c2 − 1/02

Now 0= c/f and for Mode H10/TE10 c= 2a,where a =22.86mm as

a=22.86mm /0.4”
b=10.16mm /0.9”

Procedure

 Setted circuit according to circuit diagram

 Checked reading in console unit
 Changed position of diode detector in slotted line wave guide
 Again checked reading in console unit
 Took three readings
 Noted all readings
 Finally calculated value of g

Measured value
X1=26mm,
X2=44mm and
X3=62mm

Calculation
g1= 2(X2 – X1)=2(44-26)=36mm
g2= 2(X3– X2)=2(62-44)=36mm
And
g1= (X3– X1)=(62-26)=36mm
Now putting these in:

g=(g1+g2+g3)/3 ;
g=(36+36+36)/3=108/3=36mm
So g=36mm
