Waveguide Coupling: When waveguide pieces or components are joined together, the Waveguide Coupling is generally by means of some sort of flange. The function of such a flange is to ensure a smooth mechanical junction…
Methods of Exciting Waveguides: In order to launch a particular mode in a Methods of Exciting Waveguides, some arrangement or combination of one of more antennas is generally used. However, it is also possible to…
Circular Waveguide: It should be noted from the outset that in general terms the behavior of waves in circular waveguide is the same as in rectangular guides. Analysis of behavior: The laws governing the propagation…
Rectangular Waveguide Derivation: When the top and bottom walls are added to our parallel-plane waveguide, the result is the standard Rectangular Waveguide Derivation used in practice. The two new walls do not really affect any…
Parallel Plane Waveguide: Parallel Plane Waveguide - As we know already in connection with transmission lines, that reflections and standing waves are produced if a line is terminated in a short circuit, and that there…
Reflection of Electromagnetic Waves by a Conducting Surface: In view of the way in which signals propagate in waveguides, it is now necessary to consider what happens to Reflection of Electromagnetic Waves when they encounter…
Rectangular Waveguides: Rectangular Waveguides - As we know already that the term skin effect indicated that the majority of the current flow (at very high frequencies) will occur mostly along the surface of the conductor…
Wideband Antenna Types: It is often desirable to have an antenna capable of operating over a wide frequency range. This may occur because a number of widely spaced channels are used, as in short-wave transmission…
Lens Antenna Design: The paraboloid reflector is one example of how optical principles may be applied to microwave lens antenna, and the Lens Antenna is yet another. It is used as a collimator at frequencies…
Horn Antenna Design: Horn Antenna Design - As we know, a waveguide is capable of radiating energy into open space if it is suitably excited at one end and open at the other. This radiation…
