Meaning
A hollow metal conductor that provides a path to guide microwaves; used in radar.
Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- The radar system relied on a wave guide to direct the high-frequency microwaves towards the target.
- Within the anechoic chamber, technicians tested the performance of the wave guide in various frequency ranges.
- Engineers carefully designed the wave guide to minimize signal loss and ensure efficient transmission of the microwave pulses.
- The microwave signal propagated smoothly through the wave guide, thanks to its precisely shaped and polished surface.
- Researchers observed the phase shift in the microwaves as they exited the wave guide and compared it to theoretical predictions.
