Miter Bend is a waveguide component that cuts and redirects signals via an angled miter surface, replacing the smooth arc of a traditional bend. Instead of an arced transition, it uses mirror reflection to achieve turns, offering a compact footprint and simple manufacturing process. It is the most commonly used waveguide elbow inside equipment enclosures.
Classification by Bending Plane
E-plane Miter Bend
H-plane Miter Bend
Structural Features
Composed of two straight waveguide sections plus a 45° angled miter surface (for 90° bends)
The miter acts as a reflective mirror, redirecting electromagnetic waves via reflection
Significantly smaller in size than arc bends, ideal for compact layouts inside equipment cabinets
Available as one-piece milled or welded construction
