文摘The expression of mutual impedance between two probes in a circular waveguide is derived by means of a vector potential function, reaction concept and reciprocity theorem. The waveguide is semi-infinite, and one end of the waveguide is terminated to a load with a reflection coefficient. The contribution to the mutual resistance is found to come from the dominant mode, while the contribution to the mutual reactance comes from the dominant mode and the higher order modes. The major contribution to the mutual reactance is from the dominant mode, since the higher modes decay rapidly with the increasing the probes’ of separation distance. However, as the separation distance approaches zero, the higher modes become dominant, which results in a large value of the mutual reactance.
