Beam waveguide antenna information


Diagram of a beam waveguide antenna from NASA, showing the signal path (red)

A beam waveguide antenna is a particular type of antenna dish, at which waveguides are used to transmit the radio beam between the large steerable dish and the equipment for reception or transmission, like e.g. RF power amplifiers.
