A rectangular hollow metal waveguide is required to be so designed to propagate a 9375 MHz signal in its $$T{E_{10}}$$-mode that the guide-wavelength equals the cut-off wavelength. Calculate the value of 'a' (breadth or the wider dimension of the waveguide). Take b = a/2. Also, calculate the cut-off frequency of the next higher order mode.
