Best Answer

waveguides are used instead of coax because at the high microwave frequencies coax would radiate the signal right through its shield.

waveguides do not replace antennas.

What is circular waveguide?

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mode in circular waveguide was used as a low-loss mode for transmitting signals over distance, but this technique has been replaced by fibre-optic cables.


Do ants react differently in the dark?

No, I don't think it would be a problem for them. They live in the ground and it is dark under ground, and they have excellent sense of feel and smell to help them get around.


Difference between coaxial cable and wave guide?

Waveguides are used at higher frequencies where their loss is lower than coaxial cable. Coaxial cable is used at lower frequencies where waveguides are too large and heavy. Lastly Coaxial cable is also used at higher frequencies where some flexibility is required.

What are electromagnetic waveguides?

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.
