ABSTRACT:
A bendable wave guide comprising a bendable tubular section for the propagation of microwaves through the length of the section is disclosed. The bendable section is made of a highly conductive and ductile metal and, in the preferred embodiment, has a rectangular cross section. The bendable section has a smooth inner surface and an outer surface a portion of which is milled to have a series of transverse circular or spiral ridges and furrows along its length. When the wave guide is used, that area of the surface where the furrows are is deformed to accommodate bending, while the ridges maintain the rectangular cross section of the wave guide. A pair of coupling flanges are secured to the ends of the bendable section and allow the wave guide to be connected to a microwave unit.
