A waveguide can be damaged by physical impact, thermal stress, electric arcs, or corrosion. For example, improper handling causing a 6,000 psi impact can lead to a 20%–50% signal loss. Regular cleaning and maintenance every 3–6 months can reduce damage by 60%. Physical shock In a laboratory environment, waveguides often need to be disassembled, maintained, […]

Yes, waveguides can get hot, especially when transmitting high power. For example, a 5kW waveguide may generate 500W of heat per hour, raising temperatures to 80°C. To manage heat, active cooling systems like air or water cooling are often required in high-power setups. Power class When the waveguide transmits electromagnetic waves, the higher the transmission
