Homework Statement


These are some general questions I have, related to an old assignment I am looking at.

1) Discuss the applications of polarisation in:
a. radio transmission across water
b. broadcast TV transmission
c. satellite communication

2) Explain why a plane electromagnetic wave cannot propagate through a metallic waveguide.

3) Discuss practice applications of waveguides.

Those don't look like general questions you came up with. Those look more like a homework problem.
 
They are homework problems (hence why it is posted in the homework section of the forum), from various different areas of the module, hence why I said general questions. Sorry for not making that more clear.
