TE Modes In Rectangular And Circular Waveguides

For the propagation of high-frequency waves such as radiofrequency waves, microwaves, or infrared waves, waveguides are commonly used. Waveguides are structures that are used to guide electromagnetic waves to a targeted destination. They transmit energy in one direction (towards the destination) with minimum loss.

The propagation of electromagnetic waves through a waveguide depends on the type of electromagnetic wave and the medium inside it. Wave propagation takes different modes depending on the distribution of the electric and magnetic field with respect to the direction of propagation. Each mode is different; transverse electric mode (TE mode) is one such mode in waveguide propagation that is seen in rectangular waveguides and circular waveguides.
