ATTENUATION IN WAVEGUIDE

NORLIZA KASSIM JKE POLISAS DIS 2010

ATTENUATION FACTORS
reflection of distraction, discontinuity , disalignment in parts of waveguide , smoothness level of surface of the internal wall current flow in the wall depends on the wall material dielectric material inside the guide frequency used

ATTENUATION EQUATION
losses occurred per length at cut off , can be calculated as

Ae

z
2

attenuation factor c z = length of the guide

c = guide wavelength >>in dB :

AdB

54 .5 z

PEMILIHAN BAHAN/ MATERIAL SELECTION

Pemilihan bahan untuk membina sebuah pandu gelombang bergantung kepada faktor-faktor berikut:
Bahan kerintangan rendah bagi mengurangkan kesan kulit / Low resistance material Bahan mudah dibentuk, dipateri dan pemesinan / material easily shaped , welded and plumbing . Bahan yang ringan / light material Bahan tahan karat / non-corrosive material disalut dengan perak, emas, tembaga dan aluminium untuk mengelakkan kehilangan pancaran tinggi./ plated with silver , gold, copper and Alluminium not to allow high radiation

CONTOH
Calculate

the voltage if given a waveguide with internal dimension (1x0.5)cm dan 25cm in length, is inserted with a 1GHz signal propagates in dominant mode.

PENYELESAIAN

First step: prove Perlu buktikan tiada perambatan berlaku iaitu (c << o) / prove no propagation happen

2a 2 1 c 2cm m 1 8 c 3 10 o 0.3m 30cm 9 f 110

Terbukti tiada perambatan berlaku.

PENYELESAIAN

Maka pelemahan ialah;
