What is Rectangular Waveguide

Chapter 4
Handbook of Research on Advanced Trends in Microwave and Communication Engineering
Rectangular waveguide is the one of the earliest type of the transmission lines. It is used in many applications. A lot of components such as isolators, detectors, attenuators, couplers and slotted lines are available for various standard waveguide bands between 1 GHz to above 220 GHz.

Abstract
A new technique is presented to determine the complex relative permittivity of each layer of a bi-layer dielectric material. The bi-layer material sample is loaded in a Ku-band rectangular waveguide and its two port S-parameters are measured as a function of frequency using a Network Analyzer. Also, by applying the mode matching technique, expressions for the S-parameters of the bi-layer dielectric material as a function of complex relative permittivity of each layer are developed. To estimate the complex permittivity of each layer for a bi-layer dielectric material, the square sums of errors between the measured and calculated S-parameters are minimized using a nonlinear optimization algorithm. The complex permittivity of each layer for a bi-layer dielectric material such as FR4-Teflon, FR4-Delrin and Delrin-Teflon are determined at the Ku-band frequencies, the average relative errors between the individual dielectric materials and those of each layer of bi-layer dielectric materials are calculated.
