What are Waveguide Bends?
Waveguides are usually fixed/rigid (with the exception of flexible waveguides) and therefore need bends to align the waveguide into a particular position. The correct bend is extremely important, as this regulates the loss and reflections in the system. There are two main kinds of waveguide bends:
E Plane: This type of bend changes the electric field to enable the waveguide to be bent in the required direction. The bend must have a radius greater than two wavelengths.
H Plane: This type of bend changes the magnetic field. It creates a bend around the thinner side of the waveguide. This also must have a radius greater than two times the wavelength.
The Unknown Editor from Microwaves 101 has a great way to identify the Waveguide E & H Planes. He says the E-plane starts with an E and the H plane starts with an H - which you can see in the photo below.
In addition to this the frequency, waveguide size, bend angle and VSWR are also important parameters which are used when selecting a waveguide bend.
