TM2 Mode of a Planar Waveguide |
|
|
| The TM2 waveguide mode is the next higher mode in the planar waveguide. |
|
|
|
|
| Notes: |
|
- TM2 propagates slower than both the TE1 and TM1 in the same waveguide with the same frequency of excitation.
|
|
- As the order of the mode increases, there are more "nodes" in the field distribution from top to bottom. You can see 2 distinct regions of swirling propagation whereas the TE1 and TM1 modes had only 1. These nodes and regions increase proportional to the order in the parallel plate waveguide.
