AIM:
Design of Circular Waveguide using CAD

OBJECTVIES:

• Design X band Circular Waveguide in HFSS.

• Observe modes and their corresponding cut-off frequencies
• Observe the S21 graph and comment

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
HFSS (High Frequency Simulation Software)
(HFSS is based on FEM - Finite Element Method)

THEORY:

CONCLUSION:

1. HFSS can be used for creating circular waveguides and test them at high frequencies.
2. The modes of the waveguide were observed, and their corresponding cutoff frequencies were
determined.
3. The S21 graph of the waveguide was analyzed to understand its transmission characteristics.
4. This will provide valuable insights into the behavior of circular waveguides and their applications
in X band communication systems.
