Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Microwave Communication - Quiz(MCQ)
For a parallel plate waveguide, which of the following is true?
A)
Power flow occurs in ‘z’ direction
B)
No power flow occurs in any direction
C)
Wave propagation in z direction is not possible in any mode
D)
No real power flow occurs in the ‘z’ direction

Correct Answer : Option (D) :   No real power flow occurs in the ‘z’ direction


Explanation : The superposition of the two plane waves in Z direction is such that complete cancellation occurs at y=0 and y=d, to satisfy the boundary conditions that Ez=0 at these planes. As f decrease to fc, β approaches 0 so that θ approaches 90⁰. The two plane waves are then bouncing up and down, with no motion in +z direction, and no power flow occurs in the z direction.
