Waveguides come in many varieties. The most common “shapes” for waveguide cross sections are rectangular and circular/oval. Waveguide can carry electromagnetic energy in several modes, though they are typically specified for a primary mode that presents the most desirable characteristics for loss and bandwidth. This mode is generally the transverse electric (TE) mode, where the ..

Like all waveguides, ridged waveguides carry electromagnetic radiation in the form of a transverse wave. The fundamental mode of most waveguides used in interconnect and RF devices is the transverse electric (TE) mode with no electric field in the direction of propagation. This means that the electric field is pointing from one of the side-walls ..
