Abstract
Electromagnetic waves is very strong waves which is used for transmission of signals from one place to other , main concern is medium having some physical structure through which it can propagate their waves. There are so many ways to guide this electromagnetic waves but main consideration in this paper is rectangular waveguide and circular waveguide.This paper analyze the different parameters of both the waveguides like (Cut off frequency, Cut off wavelength,Guide wavelength,Phase velocity, Group velocity, Impedance, power, Attenuation, VSWR) with the help of simulation in Matlab7.14 .Compare the parameters of the two waveguides and on the basis of these parameters result it is easy to get the best guided structure.
1. Introduction
The history of transmission originated from the work of JAMES CLERK MAXWELL, LORD KELVIN and OLIVER HEAVISIDE. Now a day for transmitting the waves from one place to

another there are so many different types of structures are used. Some of the structures are as popularly known as wires, coaxial cables, dielectric slabs, strip lines, optical fibers, electric power lines, and waveguides. This paper described for rectangular waveguides and circular waveguides.It consist of some modes and on the basis of that modes its operation is based.There are basically three types of modes which are as follows: TE modes (Transverse Electric) no electric field in the direction of propagation. TM modes (Transverse Magnetic mode) in the direction of propagation there is no magnetic field. TEM modes (Transverse Electro Magnetic) neither electric nor magnetic field in the direction of propagation.
This paper generally consider X band for the range of frequency 8.2 to 12.4 GHZ.Both the waveguides having many different parameters which may distinguish to each other.On the basis of simulation in Matlab it is easy to understand the practical observation of these parameters .So it is easy to achieve the best guide medium of waves and these waveguide can be used in different practical purposes[1][2].
2. Modes of Operating
A rectangular waveguide supports TM and TE modes but not TEM modes because it cannot define a unique voltage since there is only one conductor in a rectangular waveguide. The shape of a rectangular waveguide based on their dimensions. A material with permittivity (e )and permeability (m) fills the inside of the conductor.The mode in which the magnetic field is always transverse in the direction of propagation is called the Transverse magnetic (TM) mode,In Tm mode Hz =0 & Ez 0.The mode in which the electric field is always transverse to the direction of propagation is called the Transverse electric mode.Thus in TE mode EZ =0 & HZ 0.

If we use the method of separation of variables, that is Ez0(x, y) =X(x).Y(y) we get,
1 d 2 X ( x) 1 d 2Y ( y ) = + h2 2 2 X ( x ) dx Y ( y ) dy

As the equation contains x and y terms, these terms having equal constant value i.e kx2
d 2 X ( x) + k x2 X ( x) = 0 dx 2
d 2Y ( y ) 2 + k yY ( y) = 0 2 dy
Where ky2=h2-kx2,Now solve for X and Y from the preceding equations.But there is some boundary condition[3] : Ez0 (0, y) =0 , Ez0 (a, y) =0, Ez0(x, 0) =0, Ez0(x, b) =0 Let X(x) be the form of sin kxx, now value of kx would be mp/a where m=1, 2, 3 .... and Y(y) be the form of sin kyy and also the value of ky would be np/b where n=1, 2, 3. So that the solution for the value of Ez0(x,y) is m n (V/m) E z0 ( x, y ) = E0 sin x sin y a b From ky2=h2-kx2, we have;
m n h2 = + a b

From the analyzation of above equations in the TM modes of rectangular waveguide, the values of m 0 and n 0.This is because the field expressions are identically zero, if the value of m = 0 or n = 0 [6].So the rectangular waveguide only deals with the TM mode having m=1 and n=1.. On the basis of different values of m &n, there are different modes of TMmn [1][2]: TM00 mode : If m=0 & n=0 are substituted in Ex, Ey, Hx, Hy, then all of them vanish and hence TM00 mode cannot exist. TM01 mode : If m=0 & n=1 again all field components vanish and TM01 mode cannot exist. TM10 mode : If m=1 &n=0 all the field component vanishes hence TM10 mode cannot exist. TM11 mode : There are all the four components Ex, Ey, Hx, Hy hence TM11 mode exists for all higher values of m & n.

The different possible modes is based on the different values of m and n This paper shows the TEmn mode.In the x and y direction of the propagation,m and n shows the no. of cycle variations of the fields respectively.

3. Circular Waveguide
Circular waveguide is basically seems like the circular structure where it consist tubular circular conductor.As the frequency of transmitted signal changes the inner diameter of circular waveguide also changes.There are so many uses of Circular waveguides like in communication systems used in specific areas of radar and uses as rotating joints of the mechanical point of the antennas rotation.Generally the values of radius is very important for manufacturing of circular waveguides.

dominant mode of the circular waveguide is TE11 where m=1 and n=1.For complete one cycle m and n shows the no. of cycle variations of the fields along the diameter.In this mode,waveguide shows the lowest cut off frequency required for operating.The cutoff wavelength of a circular guide is 1.71 times the diameter of the waveguide.In the circular waveguide,the E field is perpendicular to the length of the waveguide with no E lines parallel to the direction of propagation.Thus,it must be classified as operating in the TE mode.

In circular waveguide the cut off wavelength is maximum when power is minimum in its different modes of TE and TM. But in rectangular waveguide the cut off wavelength rises for some point and then gets saturated at certain level of wavelength being unaware of power in the waveguide.

6.6 Attenuation
Waveguides can support travelling waves at frequencies higher than their cutoff frequencies. However, the travelling waves are attenuated by losses in the dielectric medium that fills a waveguide and by losses in the conducting sidewalls.Radiation and Induction Losses are similar in that both are caused by the fields surrounding the conductors.Losses occur because some magnetic lines of force about a conductor do not return to the conductor when the cycle alternates.These lines of force are projected into space as radiation and this result in power losses.In waveguide,current flows only along the inside surface of the waveguide, but remember that waveguides have four solid walls to carry the current.So the current-carrying area is large in waveguide but it is small in wire.The current carrying area in waveguide has some little amount of resistance,so due to skin effect losses are very low.

At the frequencies below the cut off frequency (f<fc) ,the propagation constant will have only the attenuation term that is the phase constant will be the imaginary part. The cut off attenuation is = 54.6/c(1-(f/fc)^2). For f>fc, the waveguide exhibits very low loss and for f<fc, the attenuation is high and results in full reflection of the wave.Similar to rectangular waveguides it is possible to determine the attenuation in circular waveguide for TE &TM modes. The attenuation in an airfilled circular waveguide is due to infinite conductivity of the guide walls and is given by; inite = power loss/unit length/(2x(average power transmitted))

6.7 VSWR
VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio also called Vertical Standing Wave Ratio), is a measure Voltage of how efficiently radio-frequency power is transmitted from a power source, through a frequency source, transmission line, into a load.VSWR is the voltage ratio of the signal on the transmission line: VSWR VSWR = |V (max)| / |V (min)| Where V (max) is the maximum voltage of the signal along the line, and V (min) is the minimum voltage along the line.The SWR is usually defined as a voltage ratio called the line.The VSWR, for voltage standing wave ratio. For example, the VSWR value 1.2:1 denotes ratio. maximum standing wave amplitude that is 1.2 times greater than the minimum standing wave the value[1].

value of is a complex number which describes the magnitude as well as the phase shift of the reflection. = 1: maximum negative reflection, when the line is short-circuited. = 0: no reflection, when the line is perfectly matched. = + 1: maximum positive reflection, when the line is open-circuited. At some points along the line the two waves interfere constructively, and the resulting amplitude Vmax is the sum of their amplitudes:
Vmax = V f + Vr = V f + V f = V f (1 + )
At other points, the waves interfere destructively, and the resulting amplitude Vmin is the difference between their amplitudes:
V min = V f V r = V f V f = V f (1 )
The voltage standing wave ratio is then equal to: VSWR = Vmax = 1 + Vmin 1 As , the magnitude of , always falls in the range [0,1] the VSWR is always +1.
