Abstract
The broad and fundamental topic of guided propagation is treated in depth, starting from general relations and introducing the important concept of guided modes (\(\textit{TE}\), \(\textit{TM}\), \(\textit{TEM}\)). The relevant mathematical eigenvalue problem is examined, the various properties of operators, eigenvalues, eigenfunctions are reviewed, and the cut-off phenomenon is explained. The practical rectangular, circular and coaxial guides are treated. Some basic elements about cavity resonators are presented.
