This article explains the difference between the TE11 mode and the TM11 mode. Let’s dive into the details!
Cutoff wavelength in a rectangular waveguide is defined by the following formula:
Where:
m= number of half-waves along the broad side dimensionN= number of half-waves along the shorter side
In a TE11 mode, there exists one half-wave of the electric (E) field in both the broader and shorter dimensions.
Conversely, in a TM11 mode, there exists one half-wave of the magnetic (H) field in both the broader and shorter dimensions.
