Standard air filled rectangular waveguides of dimensions a = 2.29cm and b = 1.02cm are designed for radar applications. It is desired that these waveguides operate only in the dominant $$T{E_{10}}$$ mode with the operating frequency at least 25% above the cut-off frequency of the $$T{E_{10}}$$ mode but not higher than 95% of the next higher cutoff frequency. The range of the allowable operating frequency f is

$$8.19\,\,GHz\,\, \le \,\,f\,\, \le \,\,13.1\,\,GHz$$

$$8.19\,\,GHz\,\, \le \,\,f\,\, \le \,\,12.45\,\,GHz$$

$$6.55\,\,GHz\,\, \le \,\,f\,\, \le \,\,13.1\,\,GHz$$

$$1.64\,\,GHz\,\, \le \,\,f\,\, \le \,\,10.24\,\,GHz$$
