Abstract
In Chapter 9, we saw that a transmission line is used in transmitting electromagnetic signals from a point to anther by means of a transverse electromagnetic (TEM) wave. At an operating frequency in the SHF (3-30[GHz]) or EHF (30- 300[GHz]) bands, the two-conductor transmission line becomes highly lossy owing to the skin effect in the conductors with a finite conductivity. Alternatively, waveguides can provide a much more efficient way of transmitting electromagnetic signals with the frequency in those bands.
