Study Notes
Microwave Circuitory
- Microwaves do not require different treatment compared to low-frequency circuits.
- Antenna gain in microwaves is proportional to the antenna's electrical size.
- Waveguides have less loss compared to two-line and coaxial lines.
- Waveguides do not allow propagation below their cutoff frequencies.
- Microwave signals travel in a straight line and are not affected by the ionosphere.
- The dominant mode has the lowest cutoff frequency.
- The electric field in TE modes is perpendicular to the propagation direction.
- Klystrons and Magnetrons are active microwave devices.
- In TE modes, if either 'n' or 'm' is zero, all fields are zero.
- Higher frequencies allow for more bandwidth.
- Microwave wavelengths range from 1 mm to 1000 mm.
- Mode order refers to the field configuration in the waveguide.
- Microwave communication systems developed soon after radar.
- Rectangular waveguides do not support propagation below their cutoff frequency.
- Waveguides are not influenced by surrounding electromagnetic waves.
- The dominant mode has the lowest cutoff frequency.
Microwave System
