🔍 Key Concepts

• Microwave frequencies vs lower RF frequencies: how losses behave in different types of transmission lines • Waveguide construction (hollow metallic tube) vs coaxial cable construction (center conductor + dielectric + shield) • How losses (attenuation) and power-handling compare between waveguides and coax at very high frequencies

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself what the main technical limitation of coaxial cable is as frequency goes up into the microwave range. • Think about which property of a hollow metal tube carrying an electromagnetic field might be superior to a solid cable filled with dielectric at very high frequencies. • Consider whether physical size/weight or environmental factors like moisture are the real engineering drivers for changing technology at microwave frequencies.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option matches the primary electrical advantage (not convenience) of waveguides at microwave frequencies. • Check which statements sound like side effects (smaller, lighter, moisture-related) versus the fundamental reason engineers switch from coax to waveguide. • Confirm in your radio theory notes how attenuation vs frequency behaves for coaxial lines compared to waveguides.
