SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF WAVEGUIDE ASSEMBLY

摘要

Various embodiments provide for waveguide assemblies which may be utilized in wireless communication systems. Various embodiments may allow for waveguide assemblies to be assembled using tools and methodologies that are simpler than the conventional alternatives. Some embodiments provide for a waveguide assembly that comprises a straight tubular portion configured to be shortened, using simple techniques and tools, in order to fit into a waveguide assembly. For instance, for some embodiments, the waveguide assembly may be configured such that the straight portion can be shortened, at a cross section of the portion, using a basic cutting tool, such a hacksaw. In some embodiments, the straight portion may be further configured such that regardless of whether the straight tubular portion is shortened, the waveguide assembly remains capable of coupling to flanges, which facilitate coupling the straight tubular portion to connectable assemblies, such as other waveguide assemblies, radio equipment, or antennas.

主权项

1. A waveguide assembly, comprising:
a straight hollow portion having a length, the straight hollow portion further including a first open end and a second open end; at least one first attachment point configured to receive at least one first fastener to mechanically fasten the first open end to a first attachable flange; the first attachable flange with an open portion, the first attachable flange configured to be mechanically fastened to the straight hollow portion at the at least one first attachment point such that the first open end of the straight hollow portion aligns with the open portion of the first attachable flange; and the at least one first fastener configured to mechanically fasten the first attachable flange to the first open end at the at least one first attachment point.
