STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Propagation Constant = Angular Frequency*(sqrt(Magnetic Permeability*Dielectric Permittivity))*(sqrt(1-((Cut-off Frequency/Frequency)^2)))
β_g = ω₀*(sqrt(μ*ε))*(sqrt(1-((f_c/f)^2)))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 6 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Propagation Constant - Propagation Constant of Rectangular Waveguide represents as a change in the amplitude or phase.
Angular Frequency - (Measured in Radian per Second) - Angular Frequency is a steadily recurring phenomenon expressed in radians per second.
Magnetic Permeability - (Measured in Henry per Meter) - Magnetic Permeability is a property of a magnetic material which supports the formation of a magnetic field.
Dielectric Permittivity - (Measured in Farad per Meter) - Dielectric Permittivity is a diagnostic physical property which characterizes the degree of electrical polarization a material experiences under the influence of an external electric field.
Cut-off Frequency - (Measured in Hertz) - Cut-off Frequency of rectangular waveguide defines wave propagation modes in the rectangular waveguide, and this frequency is dependent on the dimensions of the waveguide.

What is a lossless rectangular waveguide?

In a lossless rectangular waveguide, the propagation constant γ is equal to the phase constant β. One of the major uses of a rectangular waveguide is when losses must be kept to a minimum, so that a rectangular waveguide is used in very high-power situations such as radar, and at a few tens of gigahertz and above.

How to Calculate Propagation Constant?
