Disadvantages of H-Plane Tee

Let us see some disadvantages of the H-Plane Tee

  • H-Plane Tee can provide isolation to a large extent but it can’t provide perfect isolation. In practical scenarios, some extent of isolation is always present degrading the performance.
  • The management of tee in high-power appliances can be a difficult task. High-power appliance have certain restrictions and the design of the tee complicates with it.
  • Certain devices in which size is the major issue might not be able to integrate H-plane tee since the diemensions of tee can be large considering the appliances.
  • H-Plane Tee is a frequency dependent device meaning it can operate only in a certain range. In the case of ranges outside the desired range, the Tee might suffer from significant damage which can cause permanent loss of the device.
  • The H-plane tee is sensitive to certain disturbances. Any mechanical disturbance like vibrations, fields etc can affect the performance of the tee for the worse.

H-Plane Tee

We have studied microwave engineering an essential branch of electronics that involves the use of different devices. In this article, we will study one such device which is H-Plane Tee. H-Plane Tee is a junction which is formed by joining two waveguides together. We will study the H-Plane Tee by looking at its properties and structure. It is advised that the students already go through E-Plane Tee to have a basic understanding of tees.

We will also see how an H-plane Tee operates. In addition to this, we will study the H-Plane Tee Circuit Model and its use in various feed systems. We will study the advantages, disadvantages, and applications of H-Plane Tee. The article will conclude with frequently asked questions that users can refer to.
