RF waveguide components are devices used in microwave and RF systems to guide and manipulate electromagnetic waves within a metallic structure called a waveguide. Waveguides are hollow metal tubes or structures that can carry microwave signals with low loss and minimal electromagnetic interference. RF waveguide components are crucial for directing, filtering, amplifying, attenuating, and otherwise manipulating RF signals in various applications such as telecommunications, radar systems, satellite communications, and more.
