Given, a = 5 cm

TE _{10}, f=30 GHz

If medium – 1

\begin{aligned}&f_{c}=\frac{V_{0}}{2 a}=3 GHz \\&\eta_{1}=\frac{\eta_{0}}{\left(1-\frac{f_{c}}{f}\right)^{2}}=\frac{120 \pi}{\left(1-\left(\frac{3}{30}\right)^{2}\right)^{1 / 2}}=378.89 \Omega\end{aligned}

Medium  -2, \mu=\mu_{0}, E=4 E_{0}

 

\begin{aligned}&V_{P}=\frac{E}{\sqrt{E_{r}}}=\frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{\sqrt{4}}=1.5 \times 10^{8} m / sec \\&f_{c}=\frac{V_{0}}{2 a}=1.5 GHz \\&\eta_{0}=\sqrt{\frac{\mu}{E}}=\frac{120 \pi}{\sqrt{4}}=60 \pi \\&\eta_{2}=\frac{\eta_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{f_{c}}{f}\right)^{2}}}=188.73 \Omega,\end{aligned}

Reflection coeff. \Gamma=\frac{\eta_{2}-\eta_{1}}{\eta_{2}+\eta_{1}}=\frac{188.73-378.89}{188.73+378 . .89}

|Γ| = 0.335

\operatorname{VSWR}=\frac{1+|\Gamma|}{1-|\Gamma|}=2
