Rectangular Waveguide
 

A rectangular waveguide is hollow pipe of cross sectional specific dimensions. This conveys electromagnetic waves between its endpoints.

Modes
 

A mode is a specific field configuration. There are infinite number of field configurations possible inside a wave guide.

Domi a t mode
y TE10 mode is the dominate mode in the rectangular

waveguide.
