Waveguide & Wavelength

Rectangular Waveguide Cut-off Frequency Calculator

TE10 cut-off frequency and the usable single-mode band from the waveguide's broad wall width.

Result

Enter the inputs above and select Calculate.

Formula: f_c = c / (2a) · usable band ≈ 1.25 f_c to 1.89 f_c

The recommended band starts above cut-off, where the guide wavelength has settled, and ends before the TE20 mode can propagate.
