A flexible, twistable waveguide device is provided comprising a first flange for connecting the waveguide device to a first RF component and a second flange for connecting the waveguide to a second RF component, a waveguide body formed as a single piece, wherein the waveguide body transmits the RF waves through an interior cavity of the waveguide body, and wherein the waveguide body comprises a first linear section, a curved section, and a second linear section, the first linear section extending from the first flange to a first end of the curved section and the second linear section extending from the second flange to a second end of the curved section, wherein the waveguide body is elastically deformable, in up to six degrees of freedom, from an undeformed configuration to a deformed configuration, the deformed configuration being deformed in at least one of the six degrees of freedom.
A flexible twistable radiofrequency (“RF”) waveguide device for communicating RF waves between first and second RF system components, the waveguide device comprising:
A method of manufacturing a waveguide device comprising a first flange, a second flange, and a waveguide body including a first linear section, a curved section, and a second linear section, the method comprising:
