This video will cover some basics, about waveguide practical applications, and hopefully demystify the theory of operation. Most electromagnetic textbooks, show the equations for all the modes possible in waveguide. In the industry, only one mode is in dominant use, generally. Hopefully this video will help you understand waveguide operation, intuitively.
