in the tangential components of H to be purely z directed:

We see that if m or n are even, the surface charges and
surface currents on opposite walls are of opposite sign, while
if m or n are odd, they are of the same sign. This helps us in
plotting the field lines for the various TM,, modes shown in
Figure 8-28. The electric field is always normal and the
magnetic field tangential to the waveguide walls. Where the
surface charge is positive, the electric field points out of the
wall, while it points in where the surface charge is negative.
For higher order modes the field patterns shown in Figure
8-28 repeat within the waveguide.
Slots are often cut in waveguide walls to allow the insertion
of a small sliding probe that measures the electric field. These
slots must be placed at positions of zero surface current so
that the field distributions of a particular mode are only
negligibly disturbed. If a slot is cut along the z direction on
the y = b surface at x = a/2, the surface current given in (25) is
zero for TM modes if sin (ka/2)=0, which is true for the
m = even modes.

Transverse Electric (TE) Modes
When the electric field lies entirely in the xy plane, it is most
convenient to first solve (4) for H,. Then as for TM modes we
assume a solution of the form
H, = Re [I•,(x, y) ei'"'- ~ z ]
which when substituted into (4) yields

Again this equation is solved by assuming a product solution
and separating to yield a solution of the same form as (11):
Hz(x, y) = (A, sin k/x + A 2 cos khx)(B, sin ky + B 2 cos ky)
(28)
The boundary conditions of zero normal components of H
at the waveguide walls require that
H,(x = 0, y)= 0,
,(x = a, y)= 0
H,(x, Y= 0)= 0,
H,(x, y = b)= 0

For TE modes, the surface currents determined from the
discontinuity of tangential H now flow in closed paths on the
waveguide walls:
K(x = 0, y) = i, x
(x = 0,y)
= iH,t(x = 0, y)- i,H,(x = 0, y)
K(x = a,y)= -i,Xi(x = a,y)

Note that for TE modes either n or m (but not both) can be
zero and still yield a nontrivial set of solutions. As shown in
Figure 8-29, when n is zero there is no variation in the fields
in the y direction and the electric field is purely y directed
while the magnetic field has no y component. The TE1l and
TE2 1 field patterns are representative of the higher order
modes.

Thus, although Akand k, are real, k can be either pure real or
pure imaginary. A real value of k. represents power flow
down the waveguide in the z direction. An imaginary value of
k, means exponential decay with no time-average power flow.
The transition from propagating waves (kh real) to evanescence (k, imaginary) occurs for k,= 0. The frequency when k,
is zero is called the cut-off frequency w,:
&= [(=C
) 2 + (nI)2]1/2
(37)
This frequency varies for each mode with the mode
parameters m and n. If we assume that a is greater than b, the
lowest cut-off frequency occurs for the TE 1 0 mode, which is
called the dominant or fundamental mode. No modes can
propagate below this lowest critical frequency woo:

If an air-filled waveguide has a = 1cm, then fro=
1.5xl0' 0 Hz, while if a=10m, then f~o=15MHz. This
explains why we usually cannot hear the radio when driving
through a tunnel. As the frequency is raised above oco,
further modes can propagate.

Waveguide Power Flow
The time-averaged power flow per unit area through the
waveguide is found from the Poynting vector:

(41)
where we remember that k. may be imaginary for a particular
mode if the frequency is below cut-off. For propagating modes
where k, is real so that k, = k*, there is no z dependence in (41).
For evanescent modes where k, is pure imaginary, the z
dependence of the Poynting vector is a real decaying
exponential of the form e -21' k". For either case we see from (13)
and (22) that the product of E, with fHxand H, is pure
imaginary so that the real parts of the x- and y-directed time
average power flow are zero in (41). Only the z-directed power
flow can have a time average:

If k, is imaginary, we have that = 0 while a real k, results
in a nonzero time-average power flow. The total z-directed

Similarly, again we have that the product of H* with E,and
E, is pure imaginary so that there are no x- and y-directed
time average power flows. The z-directed power flow reduces to

m and n cannot be zero as the TE0o mode reduces to the
trivial spatially constant uncoupled z-directed magnetic field.

DIELECTRIC WAVEGUIDE
We found in Section 7-10-6 for fiber optics that electromagnetic waves can also be guided by dielectric structures
if the wave travels from the dielectric to free space at an angle
of incidence greater than the critical angle. Waves propagating along the dielectric of thickness 2d in Figure 8-30 are
still described by the vector wave equations derived in Section
8-6-1.
8-7-1
TM Solutions
We wish to find solutions where the fields are essentially
confined within the dielectric. We neglect variations with y so
that for TM waves propagating in the z direction the z
component of electric field is given in Section 8-6-2 as
