Inside Wireless en Español: Guía de Ondas

In this episode of Inside Wireless, you'll learn everything you need to know about waveguides: what they are, what waveguide shapes we typically use, what applications they serve, and how they differ from coaxial cables.

It allows electromagnetic energy to travel through it and transport it from point A to point B. It is a hollow metal tube and can come in various shapes: circular, single-ridged, double-ridged, elliptical, or rectangular. The size of the waveguide is determined by the frequency we want to use. The lower the frequency, the larger the waveguide. Unlike coaxial cables, waveguides function as high-pass filters. They do not allow low-frequency electromagnetic waves to pass through, below what is called the cutoff frequency. Above this frequency, the signal travels freely in what is known as the first transverse electrical mode. Coaxial cables always suffer higher losses than waveguides. Other advantages of waveguides are immunity to external noise and high mechanical durability. Waveguides are particularly useful in high-power applications or when very low loss is beneficial. https://rfelements.com/ 00:00 - What is a waveguide? 00:35 - Cutoff frequency 01:29 - Waveguide size 01:54 - Waveguide applications #RFelements #InsideWireless #Waveguide #TwistPort #Antennas #AntennaTheory #WISP #SpanSpectrum #NoiseReject #GrowSmart #UbiquitiNetworks #CambiumNetworks #MimosaNetworks #Mikrotik
