  Waveguide Loss -- Recommendations and Resources   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
In hollow metallic waveguides, the fundamental modes are the transverse electric TE mode for rectangular and TE for circular waveguides, seen here in cross-section: A dielectric waveguide is a waveguide that consists of a dielectric material surrounded by another dielectric material, such as air, glass, or plastic, with a lower refractive index.
The spacing of the slots is critical and is a multiple of the wavelength used for transmission and reception.
Although waveguides such as a acoustic tubes may be thought of as three-dimensional, because their lengths are often much greater than their cross-sectional area, it is reasonable and computationally efficient to model them as one dimensional waveguides.

 Edge slotted waveguide antenna array with selectable radiation direction - Patent 4229745
Slots for radiation are cut in both narrow walls of each such waveguides, and PIN diodes across the slots are selectably forward and backward biased to effectively open the slots along one waveguide narrow wall while the others are closed and, alternatively, vice verse.
The slots of either side are essentially opened or closed in accordance with the non-conducting or conducting condition of RF diodes placed at least one to a slot across the slot orthogonally.
Since both slots of the dual-slot version, namely slots 37 and 38, are to be opened and closed at the same time and under the same circumstances, leads 42 and 43 would be essentially parallel through an appropriate series resistor to a switch such as 24 in FIG.

 Slotted waveguide Information
A slotted waveguide is a waveguide that is used as an antenna in microwave radar applications.
The spacing of the slots is critical and is a multiple of the wavelength used for transmission and reception.
Without augmentation a slotted waveguide is not as efficient as a parabolic reflector, lacking an ability to focus in the vertical plane, but is much more durable and is less expensive to construct.

 Tapered-width leaky-waveguide antenna - Patent 4518967
The length (m) of each slot (2) gradually increases as one traverses the waveguide (1) along the direction of propagation, whereas the width (W) of the wall of the waveguide (1) in which the slots (2) are cut gradually decreases as one traverses the waveguide (1) along the direction of propagation.
However, this patent teaches away from the present invention in that the waveguide tapers in the same direction that the length of the slots taper (the presence of wedge shaped dielectric 20 increases the electrical width of the waveguide), whereas in the present invention the waveguide and slots taper in opposite directions.
A slotted leaky-waveguide traveling wave antenna has slots (2) whose lengths (m) gradually increase as one traverses the waveguide (1) in the direction of wave propagation, whereas the width (W) of the waveguide (1) gradually decreases as one traverses the waveguide (1) in the direction of wave propagation.

Generally, the lower the frequency to be passed the larger the waveguide is. For example the natural waveguide[1] the earth forms given by the dimensions between the conductive Ionosphere and the ground as well as the circumference at the median altitude of the earth is resonant at 7.83 Hz.
Electromagnetic waveguides are analyzed by solving Maxwell's equations, or their reduced form, the electromagnetic wave equation, with boundary conditions determined by the properties of the materials and their interfaces.
Waveguides can be constructed to carry waves over a wide portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, but are especially useful in the microwave and optical frequency ranges.
