Circular Waveguide

A circular waveguide is a specialized tube with a circular cross-section used to direct high-frequency electromagnetic waves, such as microwaves. It acts like a conduit, guiding energy efficiently with minimal loss, often used in radar, satellite communications, and microwave ovens. The circular shape helps support specific wave patterns, known as modes, allowing precise control over signal transmission. Essentially, it’s a metal pipe designed to route electromagnetic signals precisely, maintaining their integrity over distances. The circular waveguide's shape and dimensions are carefully chosen to support desired frequencies while preventing unwanted interference.
