Properties of Microwaves
1. Microwave
is
an
electromagnetic
radiation of short wavelength.
2. They can reflect by conducting surfaces
just like optical waves since they travel in
straight line.
3. Microwave currents flow through a thin
outer layer of an ordinary cable.
4. Microwaves are easily attenuated within
short distances.
5. They are not reflected by ionosphere

Tee Junction
A waveguide or coaxial-line junction with
three independent ports
Matrix of third order, containing nine
elements, six of which should be
independent.
The characteristics of a three port
junction can be explained by three
theorems of the tee junction.
These theorems are derived from the
equivalent-circuit representation of the
tee junction
21
Statements
1. A short circuit may always be placed in
one of the arms of a three-port
junction in such a way that no power
can be transferred through the other
two arms.
2. If the junction is symmetric about one
of its arms, a short circuit can always
be placed in that arm so that no
reflections occur in power transmission
between the other two arms.
(i.e
the arms present matched
impedances.)

E-plane Tee
Series Tee
A waveguide tee in which the axis of its
side arm is parallel to the E-field of the
main guide.

Symmetry property
S12 = S21, S13 = S31 and S23 = S32
Zero property,
The sum of (each term of any column
(row) multiplied by the complex
conjugate of the corresponding terms of
any column(row) is zero. )
27
Hence,
S13S23* = 0
i.e S13 = 0 or S23 = 0 or both = 0
28
Unity property,
The sum of the products of each term of
any one row (column) multiplied by its
complex conjugate is unity
S21S21* + S31S31* = 1
S12S12* + S32S32* = 1
S13S13* + S23S23* = 1
I
II
III
IV
Eq III and IV are contradictory
If S13 = 0 then S23 = 0 and thus eqn III
is false.
Similarly, if S23 = 0, then S13 = 0 and
hence eq IV is also not true.
This inconsistency proves the statement
that the tee junction cannot be matched
30
H-Plane Tee
Shunt tee
A waveguide tee in which the axis of its
side arm is shunting the E-field or
parallel to the H-field of the main guide.

34
Characteristics
1. If two waves of equal magnitude and
the same phase are fed into port 1 and
port 2, the output will be zero at port 3
and additive at port 4
2. If a wave is fed into port 4 (H arm), it
will be divided equally between port 1
and port 2 of the collinear arms and
will not appear at port 3 (E arm).
3. If a wave is fed into port 3 (E arm), it
will produce an output of equal
magnitude and opposite phase at port
1 and port 2. Output at port 4 is zero
