An improved dielectric wave-guide is provided wherein a metal wire antenna 5, which may include a detector diode, is inserted directly into the transmitter zone of a dielectric wave-guide so as to extend partly outwardly therefrom, and electromagnetic wave energy is thereby sent or received directly. The wire 5 may be the internal conductor of a coaxial cable. The improved wave-guide is useful for transmitting or receiving wave energy in wireless communication, radar and other such applications, and has a wave- energy-propagating core 2 of unsintered or incompletely sintered P.T.F.E. <IMAGE> |
