Waveguide Modes in Transmission Lines
A transmission line normally operates in the TEMz mode, where the two conductors have equal and opposite currents.
At high frequencies, waveguide modes can also propagate on transmission lines.
This is undesirable, and limits the high-frequency range of operation for the transmission line.
