1，电磁波的相位仅与变量z有关，而振幅与x,y

有关。因此，在Z方向上为行波，在X及Y

方向上形成驻波。

2，z

等于常数的平面为波面。但振辐与x,y有关，因此上述TM波为非均匀的平面波；

3，当m

或n

为零时，上述各个分量均为零，因此m及n

应为非零的整数。m及n具有明显的物理意义，m为宽壁上的半个驻波的数目，n为窄壁上半个驻波的数目。

4，由于m及n为多值，因此场结构均具有多种模式。m及n的每一种组合构成一种模式，以TMmn表示。例如TM11表示m=1,n=1的场结构，具有这种场结构的波称为TM11波。5，数值大的m及n模式称为高次模，数值小的称为低次模。由于m及n均不为零，故矩形波导中TM波的最低模式是TM11波。12
