1. Phasor expressions for Hz , E phi , and Hr as functions of radius r are given for a forward propagating TE01 wave in Eqs. 8.9(19) - (20). Give the corresponding instantaneous expressions, Hz (r, z, t), Ephi (r, z, t) and Hr (r, z, t) for

A hollow-pipe waveguide of arbitrary shape has air dielectric up to z=0 and dielectric with epsilonr =4 beyond. Find the frequency for which there is no reflection for a TM mode incident on the junction if cutoff frequency in the air region is 10 GHz.

3. It was shown in class that the TM wave can travel along a surface with a velocity less than that of light in the dielectric if the surface has an inductive surface reactance. This slow wave decays exponentially in the direction normal to the surface.

A circular-cylindrical resonator of radius a, height d has dielectric epsilon1 for 0<r<b, dielectric epsilon2 for b<r<a. For the mode with no phi or z variations, similar to that of Sec. 10.6, find the equation which determines resonant frequency w of the mode. You need not try to solve the equation.
