Microwave Waveguide
A microwave waveguide is a specialized metallic tube that guides microwave-frequency signals—high-frequency electromagnetic waves used in radar, satellite communication, and microwave ovens. Unlike regular wires, waveguides efficiently transmit these signals over distances with minimal loss, by confining the waves within its hollow structure. The waveguide's shape and size are designed to support specific microwave frequencies, ensuring smooth signal flow. Think of it as a high-tech "pipe" that directs microwave energy precisely where needed, minimizing interference and power loss, making it essential for many advanced communication and radar systems.
