Answer to Problem 29P

The value of the attenuation constant due to the dielectric losses (αd) and due to the conduction losses (αc) for TE10 mode is 0.0185Np/m and 0.033Np/m respectively.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

Given dimensions a×b for the copper waveguide is 1cm×2cm.

Write the expression to calculate the cutoff frequency for TE10 mode.

fc=u2a        (1)

Here,

u is the phase velocity of uniform plane wave in dielectric medium and

a is the inner dimension of the waveguide.

Write the expression to calculate the phase velocity of uniform plane wave in the lossless dielectric medium.

u=cεr

Here,

c is the speed of light in vacuum which is 3×108m/s and

εr is the permittivity of the medium.

Substitute cεr for u in Equation (1).

fc=(cεr)2a=c2aεr

Substitute 1cm for a, 3×108m/s for c and 2.6 for εr in above Equation.

fc=(3×108m/s)2(1cm)2.6=(3×108)m/s22.6(1×102)m {1c=102}=9.3026×109s1=9.3026GHz {1Hz=11s,1G=109}

Write the expression to calculate the intrinsic impedance of a uniform plane wave in the medium.

η=με=377εr

Substitute 2.6 for εr in above Equation.

η=3772.6Ω=233.81Ω

Write the expression to calculate the attenuation constant due to the dielectric losses.

αd=ση21(fcf)2        (2)

Substitute 233.81Ω for η, 104S/m for σ, 12GHz for f and 9.3026GHz for fc in Equation (2).

αd=(104S/m)(233.81Ω)21(9.3026GHz12GHz)2=(104)(233.81)ΩSm120.39904=0.0185ΩΩ1m1 {1S=1Ω1}=0.0185Np/m

Write the expression to calculate the attenuation constant due to conduction losses for the TE10 mode.

αc=2Rsbη1(fcf)2(0.5+ba(fcf)2)        (3)

Here,

Rs is the real part of the intrinsic impedance of the conducting wall .

Write the expression to calculate the real part of the intrinsic impedance of the conducting wall.

Rs=πfμσc

Rs=πfμoσc {μ=μo}

Substitute 4π×107H/m for μo, 12GHz for f and 5.8×107S/m for σc in above equation.

Rs=π(12GHz)(4π×107H/m)5.8×107S/m=π(12×109)(4π×107)s1Hm15.8×107S/m {1G=109,1Hz=11s}=47374.10113Ωss15.8×107Ω1 {1H=1Ω1s,1S=11Ω}=8.1679×104Ω2

Simplify the above Equation.

Rs=0.02858Ω

Substitute 0.02858Ω for Rs, 1cm for a, 2cm for b, 233.81Ω for η, 12GHz for f and 9.3026GHz for fc in Equation (3).

αc=2(0.02858Ω)(2cm)(233.81Ω)1(9.3026GHz12GHz)2(0.5+(2cm1cm)(9.3026GHz12GHz)2)=0.05716(2×102)(233.81)1(0.601)(0.5+(2)(0.601))=0.033Np/m

Conclusion:

Thus, the value of the attenuation constant due to the dielectric losses (αd) and due to the conduction losses (αc) for TE10 mode is 0.0185Np/m and 0.033Np/m respectively.

Answer to Problem 29P

The value of the attenuation constant due to the dielectric losses (αd) and due to the conduction losses (αc) for TM11 mode is 0.02344Np/m and 0.0441Np/m respectively.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

Write the expression to calculate the cutoff frequency for TM11 mode.

fc=u2[1a2+1b2]12

Substitute cεr for u in above equation.

fc=(cεr)2[1a2+1b2]12=c2εr[1a2+1b2]12

Substitute 1cm for a, 2cm for b, 3×108m/s for c and 2.6 for εr in above Equation.

fc=(3×108m/s22.6)[1(1cm)2+1(2cm)2]12=(3×108)m/s22.6(111.803m1)=10.4×109s1=10.4GHz {1Hz=11s,1G=109}

Substitute 233.81Ω for η, 104S/m for σ, 12GHz for f and 10.4GHz for fc in Equation (2).

αd=(104S/m)(233.81Ω)21(10.4GHz12GHz)2=(104)(233.81)ΩSm120.2489=0.02344ΩΩ1m1 {1S=1Ω1}=0.02344Np/m

Write the expression to calculate the attenuation constant due to conduction losses for the TM11 mode.

αc=2Rsbη1(fcf)2[(ba)3+1(ba)2+1]        (4)

From part (a), the real part of the intrinsic impedance of the conducting wall is,

Rs=0.02858Ω

Substitute 0.02858Ω for Rs, 1cm for a, 2cm for b, 233.81Ω for η, 12GHz for f and 10.4GHz for fc in Equation (4).

αc=2(0.02858Ω)(2cm)(233.81Ω)1(10.4GHz12GHz)2[(2cm1cm)3+1(2cm1cm)2+1]=0.05716(2×102)(233.81)0.24889[8+14+1]=0.0441Np/m

Conclusion:

Thus, the value of the attenuation constant due to the dielectric losses (αd) and due to the conduction losses (αc) for TM11 mode is 0.02344Np/m and 0.0441Np/m respectively.
