What is flexible waveguide?
Flexible waveguide is an essential item for many waveguide installations. The flexible waveguide provides the required degree of flexibility to enable a degree of mechanical movement either for vibration, allow for other movement, or just to take up the mechanical tolerances which might otherwise not be possible.
Where would a flex twist waveguide be used?
Recognized for the ability to aid in positioning and aligning parabolic reflectors in line-of-sight microwave radio links, FlexTwist waveguide components are used in a variety of military and commercial applications.
What is ridge waveguide?
A waveguide with conducting ridges protruding into the center of the waveguide from the top wall or bottom wall or both walls, is called as a Ridged Waveguide. The ridges are parallel to the short wall of the waveguide.
What is elliptical waveguide?
Elliptical waveguide is precision formed from corrugated high-conductivity copper with an elliptical cross-section component. It is this corrugated wall structure that in turn gives the waveguide high crush strength, lighter weight, and better flexibility for handling.
What is slab waveguide?
The slab waveguide consists of three layers of materials with different dielectric constants, extending infinitely in the directions parallel to their interfaces. Light is confined in the middle layer by total internal reflection if the refractive index of the middle layer is larger than that of the surrounding layers.
What is parallel plane waveguide?
A parallel plate waveguide is a device for guiding the propagation of waves between two perfectly-conducting plates.
What is TM and TE modes?
The difference between TE and TM mode is that TE stands for transverse electric mode while TM stands for transverse magnetic mode. TE mode is also known as H mode as there is only a magnetic field along the direction of propagation.
What is dominant mode?
dominant mode: In a waveguide that can support more than one propagation mode, the mode that propagates with the minimum degradation, i.e. , the mode with the lowest cutoff frequency. (188) Note: Designations for the dominant mode are TE10 for rectangular waveguides and TE11 for circular waveguides.
