Answer any three of the fallowing Questions

1. i) Write the equations governing 𝐸𝑥, 𝐸𝑦, 𝐻𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐻𝑦 in terms of axial components for
rectangular waveguides. Derive an expression for 𝐸𝑧 of TM waves, starting with
vector Helmholtz equation.
ii) Calculate cut-off frequencies for rectangular waveguides with the following
dimensions, assuming 𝑇𝐸10 mode
i)7.214 × 3.404 𝑐𝑚
2. i)An air filled rectangular waveguide with dimensions 6.5 × 3.5 𝑐𝑚 operates in the
dominant mode at 3 GHz Calculate the vales of guide phase constant, guide phase
velocity, guide group velocity, guide wavelength and wave impedance.
ii)Explain and conclude the dominant mode for a circular waveguide is 𝑇𝐸11 .

3. i)Determine the cut-off frequency of the first two propagating modes of a circular
waveguide with radius=0.5 cm and 𝜀𝑟 = 2.25.
ii) Consider a two-port network having the following scattering matrix
0 0
[s]=[ 0.15∠0 0 0.85∠ − 045 ]
0.85∠45 0.2∠0
Determine if the network is reciprocal and lossless. If port two is terminated with a
matched load, what is the return loss seen at port 1, and if port two is terminated with
a short circuit, what is the return loss seen at port 1.
