The spectrum of electromagnetic fields satisfying perfectly conducting boundary conditions in a segment of a straight beam pipe with a circular cross-section is discussed as a function of various source models. These include charged bunches that move along the axis of the pipe with constant speed for which an exact solution to the initial-boundary value problem for Maxwell's equations in the beam pipe is derived. In the ultra-relativistic limit all longitudinal components of the fields tend to zero and the spectral content of the transverse fields and average total electromagnetic energy crossing any section of the beam pipe are directly related to the properties of the ultra-relativistic source. It is shown that for axially symmetric ultra-relativistic bunches interference effects occur that show a striking resemblance to those that occur due to CSR in cyclic machines despite the fact that in this limit the source is no longer accelerating. The results offer an analytic description showing how such enhanced spectral behaviour depends on the geometry of the source and the details of the stochastic distribution of structure within the source. They offer a viable experimental means for inferring properties of the longitudinal charge distribution of bunches with micro-structure in ultra-relativistic motion in straight segments of a beam pipe from observation of the associated electromagnetic energy spectra. They are also of relevance to design criteria where the coherence effects of such fields play a significant role.
