The elliptic waveguide
must not be over bent.
The bending radius
must be large enough.

Laying Out an Elliptical Waveguide (2/2)
a
•When manually bending an elliptical waveguide, ensure that the bending radius of the elliptical waveguide is larger than the
minimum value of each plane.
Bend an elliptical waveguide by applying force
evenly along the bent parts. Do not apply force
only on the bent parts.
