Smooth/Radial Bend Waveguide serves as a core component for achieving smooth, low-reflection, and high-power turning in microwave/mmWave systems. Compared to chamfered bends, it features the most natural field transition, minimal standing wave, and highest power capacity.
According to the bending surface, arc bend waveguides can be divided into E-plane bend waveguides and H-plane bend waveguides.
Based on the bending shape, the arc bend waveguide belongs to a type of arc bend, as opposed to chamfered bend waveguides and other types.
The arc bend waveguide boasts features such as low VSWR, low insertion loss, and high power capacity, making it an indispensable structural unit in planar optical waveguide devices.
The larger the bending radius, the better the performance of the arc bend waveguide typically is, such as low standing wave ratio and wide frequency bandwidth.
