#Given:
c = 3*10**10                   #in cm/s
a = 4                          #in cm
b = 2.5                        #in cm
f = 10*10**9                   #in Hz
d = 0.1                        #distance between 2 minimum power points(in cm)




#calculations
#For TE10 mode:
wl_c = 2*a
wl_o = c/f
wl_g = wl_o/math.sqrt(1-(wl_o/wl_c)**2)
S = wl_g/(math.pi*d)

print 'Voltage standing wave ratio =',round(S,4)

Voltage standing wave ratio = 9.5493
