Abstract

Propagation losses including bath transmission losses and bending losses of the flexible dielectric tube waveguide using commercial polymer substances for a short distance millimeter wave transmission are analytically predicted. The transmission loss and the bending loss are strongly dependent on the power flow distributions in each region. The obtained propagation tosses are compared with those of the commercial metal rigid and flexible waveguides.
