Abstract
The effect of surface roughness on electromagnetic propagation through rect angular waveguide is studied using Finite Element Method. The effect of sur face roughness on TE10, TE20 mode cutoff frequencies and passbands is studi ed. The surface roughness on the walls of the waveguide has been generated by using the RND function in Turbo Basic. The random variation in cutoff fr equencies for TE10, TE20 mode is observed. The passband decreases with incr ease in surface roughness.
