Abstract
Rapid radio frequency (RF) microwave devices and methods are disclosed. According to an aspect, a waveguide includes a body having first and second components that are attachable together to form an interior having a surface. Further, the waveguide includes a conductive material formed on the interior surface and shaped to convey electromagnetic waves.
Claims7
A waveguide comprising:
- a body comprising first and second components that are attachable together to form an interior having a first surface, wherein the first surface extends in a substantially linear direction within the body, wherein the first component defines a second surface with an extruding lip, wherein the second component defines a third surface with an intruding groove;
- and wherein the extruding lip and the intruding groove fit together when the first and second components are attached and wipe against each other during attachment to form an air-free junction between the second surface and the third surface during attachment of the first and second components;
- and
- a conductive material formed on the first surface and shaped to convey electromagnetic waves.
