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

TM, TE modes

TEM, TE modes

TEM, TE, TM modes

TEM, TM modes

Correct Answer : Option (C) : TEM, TE, TM modes

Explanation : Parallel plate waveguide is the simplest type of waveguide that can support TE and TM modes. It can also support a TEM mode since it is formed from two flat conducting plates.
