The fringe effect can be neglected in a parallel plate waveguide is because of:

Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Microwave Communication - Quiz(MCQ)

The dielectric material used

Material of the parallel plate waveguide used

Width of the plates is greater than the distance between the plates

None of the above

Correct Answer : Option (C) : Width of the plates is greater than the distance between the plates

Explanation : The strip width W of the parallel plate waveguide is assumed to be much greater than the separation d, hence the fringe effect or the fringing fields can be neglected.
