Examples
-
When the incoming electromagnetic waves travel through the waveguide, their electric component is forced to be either parallel or perpendicular to the walls of the tube.
Academic text (1996) -
At the end of the waveguide are two pickup probes, one for each direction.
Academic text (1996) -
The lowest mode has the most direct path down the waveguide and arrives at the detectors first.
Academic text (2004) -
The lower modes become trapped toward the bottom of the waveguide because sound paths bend toward regions of lower sound speeds.
Academic text (2004) -
Here we discuss recent research efforts to extract signals from noise while coping with, and even exploiting, the waveguide properties of the shallow-water environment.
Academic text (2004) -
In addition to the DC circuit, the neutral atmosphere between Earth's surface and the ionosphere behaves like a waveguide when excited with ultralow-frequency electromagnetic radiation.
Academic text (1998) -
The propagating normal modes have different frequency-dependent group speeds, so a finite-bandwidth pulse disperses as it propagates down the waveguide and passes an array of detectors.
Academic text (2004) -
The engineer designed a new waveguide to improve signal transmission for the radar system.
-
The research team tested the efficiency of a waveguide for directing microwave signals in their latest experiment.
-
A waveguide is essential for confining radio waves in many telecommunications applications.

Etymology
The word waveguide is simply wave + guide, where a 'wave' is a moving ripple of energy, like radio or microwave, and 'guide' means 'to lead', so a waveguide is a tube or path that leads those waves where they must go.
