E-Plane Tee
An E-Plane Tee also known as a waveguide Tee is a device made of two waveguides connected. It is made by joining a waveguide to another rectangular waveguide that already has two ports. Therefore, the shape of the whole device resembles the letter ‘T’ in the English alphabet, giving it the name ‘Tee’. The figure given below represents a basic E-Plane Tee.
In an E-Plane Tee, the axis of the side arm is parallel to the Electric Field (E) of the collinear arms which is a critical property of this device. If we carefully observe, the E-plane Tee is a 3-port device. In general, the input is given at port 3 and then the signal is obtained from port 1 and port 2.
E- Plane Tee
We have studied how waveguides form an important part of microwave engineering. In this article, we will study one important application of waveguide which is E-Plane Tee. E-Plane Tee is a junction which is formed by joining two waveguides together. We will study the E-Plane Tee by looking at its properties and its structure.
We will also see how an E-Plane Tee operates. In addition to this, we will study the E-Plane Tee Circuit Model and its use in various feed systems. Later, we will study the advantages, disadvantages, and applications of E-Plane Tee. The article will conclude with some frequently asked questions that users can refer to.
