Guide wavelength is defined as the distance between two equal phase planes along the waveguide. The guide wavelength is a function of operating wavelength (or frequency) and the lower cutoff wavelength, and is always longer than the wavelength would be in free-space. Here's the equation for guide wavelength:Guide wavelength is used when you design distributed structures in waveguide. For example, if you are making a PIN diode switch with two shunt diodes spaces 3/4 wavelength apart, use the 3/4 of a guide wavelength in your design. The guide wavelength in waveguide is longer than wavelength in free space. This isn't intuitive, it seems like the dielectric constant in waveguide must be less than unity for this to happen... don't think about this too hard you will get a headache. === ===
The Transverse electromagnetic(TEM) wave cannot be transmitted within a wave guide.
Because the propagation velocity in the waveguide is less than in free space.

It is a waveguide that is circular. Circular waveguides have modes that are described in terms of Bessel functions instead of the sines/cosines used for rectangular waveguides. The disadvantage is that the two lowest modes have cutoff frequencies spaced by less than an octave. Circular waveguides are used for rotating joints, for example in radar. The H01 mode in circular waveguide was used as a low-loss mode for transmitting signals over distance, but this technique has been replaced by fibre-optic cables.
The shape dictates the frequencies that can propagate. A circular waveguide will have one set of frequencies that can propagate, depending on its diameter and, if different materials are used, the makeup of those materials. A rectangular waveguide will have two sets of frequencies that can propagate (as I remember), each set depending on the dimensions of the rectangle.
Rectangular waveguide and circular waveguide are metal hollow structure used to guide EM waves. Depending upon their shapes they are classified as rectangular or circular. They are basically a passive microwave device and acts like a High Pass Filter. Rectangular waveguide : It is the earliest kind of the transmission lines. It supports supports TM and TE modes. It does not support TEM waves because it has only one conductor and cannot define a unique voltage. Conductor is filled with a material that has material with permittivity e and permeability m. Cutoff wavelength equation for is define below. λc = 2/ Here, m= number of half-wave along broad side dimension, N= number of half-wave along the shorter side. Circular Waveguide: It maintains a uniform circular cross section along their length. The cutoff frequency is unique for a specific waveguide mode that is assumed to be propagating in a waveguide of a given diameter and determines the lower frequency of the waveguide’s operating frequency range. The cutoff frequency is calculated using the following formula:

A waveguide is a metal tube that is used to carry radio frequency energy from one place to another. It is commonly used in microwave telecommunications and radar. A typical waveguide ifor 10,000 Megahertz is about 1" by 0.5 " rectangular cross-section. There are also circular and eliptical waveguides. The size of the guide depends on the frequency in use. The lower the frequency, the bigger the waveguide. I have seen a waveguide that you could walk around in for 100 Mhz. Once you get past about 1000Mhz, wire transmission lines become very inefficient, and waveguides are better.
A variable attenuator is a device used to adjust the signal strength of a radio frequency or optical signal. It can be used to reduce the intensity of the signal by an adjustable amount to prevent overloading or distortion in the receiving equipment. Variable attenuators are commonly used in communication systems, test and measurement equipment, and audio systems to control signal levels.
Moisture in the air in a waveguide can scatter the microwave energy the waveguide is designed to transport. This translates into signal loss or attenuation. The VSWR drops, and that is not a good thing.
waveguide is a metal pipe that contains and guides microwaves from place to place in a microwave system (e.g. oscillators, amplifiers, mixers, modulators, filters, antennas)horn antenna has a waveguide connected at its focus, in transmit mode the waveguide feeds the horn which then emits a microwave beam, in receive mode the horn collects a microwave beam and concentrates it int the waveguide
Horn antenna are typically fed by a section of a waveguide, the waveguide itself is often fed with a short dipole.
