In this article, we will discuss the basics of waveguides and show 15 different types of waveguide symbols. Introduction of Waveguide Any surface separating two media of distinctly different conductivities or permittivities has a guiding effect on electromagnetic waves. For example, a rod of dielectric material, such as polystyrene, can carry a high-frequency wave, somewhat as a glass fiber conducts a beam of light. The best guiding surface, however, is between a good dielectric and a good conductor. In a broad sense, all kinds of transmission lines, including coaxial cables…

40+ Transmission Line Symbol
In this article, we show 40+ different transmission line symbols used in transmission lines for various purposes. Transmission Line Introduction Transmission may take place via transmission lines, antennas, waveguides, or optical fibers. Sometimes a combination such as transmission line from the transmitter to its antenna, to receiving, to the transmission line, and to a receiver is used. A transmission line may be defined as the conductive connections between system elements that carry signal power. You may be thinking that if the wire connection between two points is a transmission line,…

Before talking about various types of antenna symbols I would like to describe about antennas. Antennas for use at microwave frequencies. Antennas serve either or both of the following two functions: the generation and the collection of electromagnetic energy. In the transmission system, a radio-frequency signal is developed, amplified, modulated, and applied to the antenna. The RF current flowing through the antenna produces electromagnetic waves that radiate into the atmosphere. In a receiving system, electromagnetic waves “cutting” through the antenna induce alternating currents for use by the receiver. To have…
