= TE mode
{c}
{synonym}

A guided <electromagnetic wave> whose <electric field> has no component along the propagation axis. Its <magnetic field> can have a longitudinal component. In an empty perfectly conducting rectangular <electromagnetic waveguide>, transverse wave numbers determine a nonzero <cutoff frequency>. This differs from a <transverse electromagnetic mode>, in which both fields are transverse.
