Depending upon the frequencies, power levels, and physical requirements, either coaxial or waveguide interconnects are used for high power RF and Microwave applications. Both technologies vary in size as a function of frequency and require higher precision materials and manufacturing processes to handle higher power levels. Generally, as a product of the way the RF ..

Following from the name, a waveguide is a hollow conductive structure that guides an EM wave along a path. The conductive inner walls of the waveguide bounce EM energy along the path with low-loss and close to light speed. Waveguides are commonly cylindrical, elliptical, or rectangular. In a rectangular waveguide, transverse electric (TE), or H-wave, ..
