Waveguide_Loss_M101_Rev_4A.

xlsx

Updated January 2016 to make comparing and plotting standard waveguides

easier. Also, added many millimeter and sub-milimeterwave standard guide
to the list, all the way to WR0.51! We've also added a plot of waveguide
impedance.

Updated January 2015. spreadsheet did NOT have muR in loss calculations,
this has now been fixed.

This spreadsheet does many things:

It contains the waveguide table that was previously a separate download.

The site offers an even better download on waveguide dimensions, be sure
to check that out.

http://www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedias/rectangular-waveguide-
dimensions

It provides a plot of waveguide loss for up to 10 different standard

rectangular waveguides. The legend on the plot now keeps track of the
waveguide geometry and material you chose (also new for January 2015!)

It has a separate page for the user to design their own waveguide, including
filling it with a dielectric of their choice.

Let us know if you find any bugs or have any suggestions!
