Last month, this column discussed some of the fundamental concepts of selecting coaxial transmission lines. That included low-power flexible lines as well as some issues involving high-power rigid ...

Rectangular waveguide is the most common type of transmission line used in microwave communication. It is a metallic transmission line ideally suitable for microwave frequencies and is employed to ...

For most design engineers, study of waveguide technology ended when they got their last degree. The only time waveguide comes up is to use it as a last resort in applications such as millimeter-wave ...

The first theoretical models of the propagation of an electromagnetic field in a waveguide date back to the second half of the 19th century (Hertz, Debye, Rayleigh). The technological fallout for long ...

High-speed optical circuits and sensors generally require strict control over light polarization to minimize loss and cross-talk in photonic devices such as waveguides. An A*STAR team now predicts ...

Scientists announce the discovery of slab waveguides based on the two-dimensional material hexagonal boron nitride. The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in collaboration with Kansas State ...

Waveguides generate digital images directly in the field of vision and enable smart glasses such as the Meta Ray-Ban. We explain the technology behind them. Waveguides, as they are known in German, ...

Holographic images: the two figures on the left are two holographic images produced by a leaky-wave metasurface at two different distances from the device surface. The other figures are distinct ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The concepts of metamaterials and metasurfaces have spawned massive novel applications in free-space optics. However, recent research also indicates that they possess prominent ...
