6 side effects of introducing corners and bends into waveguides
Introducing bends in waveguides can cause mode conversion (10-20% power loss), increased VSWR (up to 1.5:1), and attenuation spikes (0.1-3 dB per bend). Sharp corners may trigger higher-order modes, field distortion (5-15% phase shift), and arcing risks above 1 kW. Use smooth 90° E/H bends with radius ≥2× wavelength to minimize losses. For Ka-band (26-40 […]
