A wave guide is a transmission line which transports energy or information from one
place to another and it is used at microwave frequency. There are several types cross
sectional wave guides are available.

The propagation constant of rectangular wave guide can be expressed as,

2 2
 m   n  2
       
 a   b 
  J
2 2
 m   n  2
       
At lower frequencies,  a   b  ,
So at this condition propagation constant is purely real and it introduces high attenuation,
2 2
 m   n  2
       
At very high frequencies,  a   b  ,
So at this condition propagation constant is purely imaginary and it allows through it due
high pass fitter
to low attenuation. Hence a waveguide acts as .
