Maximum electric field strength of main wave in rectangular waveguide ===================================================================== A rectangular waveguide is a rectangular metal waveguide capable of supporting waves propagating along it. The main wave is a transverse electric wave with the first index equal to :math:`1` and the second index equal to :math:`0`. **Notes:** #. *Horizontal* dimension refers to the dimension of the cross section of the waveguide that is orthogonal to its central axis.

The wave propagating in the waveguide must be the main wave. #. The waveguide must be rectangular. ..
