NileSat Satellite transmits broadcastingprogram at Ku-Band (12 GHz). An engineer working in asatellite station complex has received the program by an earthstation and routed the signal through a rectangular waveguide ofdimensions (axb=2.4x1.2) to control room 12.2m away fromthe station feedhorn.
(a) Which of the following modes can propagate:
TE10 TE01 TE11 TM11 TE20 TE02
show and confirm your work.
(b) Calculate the characteristic impedance for the mode of the wave propagating down the guide.
(c) Calculate the guide wavelength λg
(d) If the waveguide made of copper (σ =5.7x107 mhos/m), calculate the total losssuffered by the signal at the control room.
