Two 2' s complement numbers having sign bits x and y added and the sign bit of the result is z. Then, the occurrence of overflow is indicated by the Boolean function.

The electric field vector of a wave is given as $$$\vec E = {E_0}{\mkern 1mu} {e^{j\left( {\omega t + 3x - 4y} \right)}}{\mkern 1mu} {{8{{\vec a}_x} + 6{{\vec a}_y} + 5{{\vec a}_z}} \over {\sqrt {125} }}\,\,V/m$$$

Its frequency is 10 GHz.

(i) Investigate if this wave is a plane wave.
(ii) Determine its propagation constant, and
(iii) Calculate the phase velocity in $$y$$-direction.

The region between a pair of parallel perfectly conducting planes of infinite extent in the y and z directions is partially filled with a dielectric as shown in Figure. A 30 GHz $$T{E_{10}}$$ wave is incident on the air dielectric interface as shown. Find the VSWR at the interface.

A rectangular waveguide with inner dimensions 6 cm $$ \times $$ 3 cm has been designed for a single mode operation. Find the possible frequency range of operation such that the lowest frequency is 5% above the cut off and the highest frequency is 5% below the cut off of the next higher mode.
