Lecture -- TEM Analysis of Parallel Plate Waveguide

This video analyzes the TEM mode of the parallel plate waveguide using Laplace’s equation (i.e. electrostatic approximation). The solution is visualized and discussed, including field profile, characteristic impedance, phase constant, and distributed inductance and capacitance. The video ends with an example.

Thanks for the lecture. I think the phase front in the animation should not oscilate over time, because the phase front should move with speed v with fixed shape?

Maybe I could have been more clear in the video. Sorry. Imagine time was frozen and you scanned through the waveguide. That is what you are seeing, not a moving wavefront.

Thanks for the video. Would you mind making a lecture about describing what happens when B field is impressed normally on a lossy metal plane? My understanding it that it will excite eddy currents such that it will perfectly cancel out impressed B field when conductivity goes to infinity but I am not able to rigorously derive it.
Another point is that this problem might seem deceptively simple but could be more challenging since the E fields should have circular symmetry while the impressed B field iss best described in rectangular coordinates. I would appreciate your thoughts on this

Hmmm...Let me think about that. I suspect your answer lies in the discussion of boundary conditions.
