Waveguides

Waveguides are structures that direct electromagnetic waves, such as radio, microwave, or light signals, from one point to another. Think of them like pipes for light or radio waves; they keep the waves contained and guide them along specific paths. Waveguides can be made from various materials and come in different shapes, like rectangular or cylindrical. They are crucial in telecommunications, radar, and optical systems, helping ensure signals travel efficiently with minimal loss and interference, thus enhancing communication and data transmission technologies.
