TE Mode (Transverse Electric)
— A waveguide propagation mode where the electric field is entirely transverse to the direction of propagation with no longitudinal electric component.
TEM Mode (Transverse Electromagnetic)
— A propagation mode where both electric and magnetic fields are transverse to propagation. Supported by coaxial cable and stripline.
Termination
— A device that absorbs RF energy at the end of a transmission line, presenting the correct impedance to prevent reflections.
TM Mode (Transverse Magnetic)
— A waveguide propagation mode where the magnetic field is entirely transverse with no longitudinal magnetic component.
Transmission Line
— A structure designed to guide electromagnetic energy from one point to another, such as coaxial cable, waveguide, or microstrip.
Transmitter (TX)
— A device or system that generates, modulates, amplifies, and radiates RF energy to convey information through space.
Tuning
— The process of adjusting a circuit's resonant frequency or a filter's passband to the desired operating frequency.
Turnstile Junction
— A five-port waveguide junction that combines the properties of E-plane and H-plane tees for use in monopulse radar and antenna feeds.
