Question

One of the limitations on the power handling capability of waveguide is the dielectric strength (Breakdown voltage) of air. One solution to this is to fill the waveguide with dielectric material having a higher dielectric strength. Aside from cost and weight, what is the disadvantage of doing this?

Step 1

Dielectric materials can have higher loss tangents compared to air, which can result in increased signal attenuation as the electromagnetic waves propagate through the waveguide. Show more…
