Abstract
The attenuation of the HE11 mode in a brass corrugated circular waveguide of internal diameter 8 cm is measured in the frequency range 8¿10 GHz by means of a resonant-cavity technique. Attenuation values of the order of 4 dB/m are observed. The mean attenuation level exceeds the theoretical value for a perfect corrugated waveguide by about 25%, which is within the experimental accuracy. The attenuation measured is substantially less than that predicted for the H11 mode in a smooth-wall waveguide of comparable size and is, in fact, close to that predicted for the H01 mode.
