Hollow metallic waveguides - Part 2: Relevant specifications for ordinary rectangular waveguides

IEC 60153-2:2025 specifies straight hollow metallic tubing of ordinary rectangular cross-section for use as waveguides in radio frequency electrical applications.
The term "ordinary rectangular waveguide" in the title of this document refers to rectangular waveguides with a b-to-a ratio of 0,5 (or slightly less).
The objective of this document is to specify for hollow metallic waveguides:
a) the details necessary to ensure compatibility and, as far as is essential, interchangeability;
b) test methods;
c) uniform requirements for the electrical and mechanical properties.
This document does not contain any binding specifications for the materials to be used, but merely examples. The exact selection of materials is subject to agreement between the customer and the supplier.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2016. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) addition of a cross-sectional view of the waveguide;
b) addition of informative content on the theoretical background of the standard;
c) use of a lower case "k" in the waveguide designation, where appropriate;
d) revision of main specification table (now Table 1):
1) two waveguides moved to the end of the table (R 35, R 41);
2) correction of one waveguide designation (now R 26k);
3) correction of one waveguide outside width (R 18);
4) relaxation of tolerances of waveguide outside dimensions (R 14 to R 70);
5) removed attenuation values of waveguides made of gold, aluminium, and stainless steel;
6) implementation of attenuation values for an idealised copper waveguide;
e) relaxation of tolerances of waveguide outside dimensions for R 14 to R 70 in the table now referred to as Table 4;
f) clarification of the electrical tests:
1) use of standard annealed copper as the reference material for waveguide tubes;
2) correction of the formula for calculating the theoretical attenuation of an idealised copper waveguide;
3) addition of a formula for calculating the theoretical attenuation of waveguides made of any material;
4) addition of an informative table with typical waveguide materials (Table 5);
g) addition of an informative cross-reference for waveguide type designations (Annex A).

Hollow metallic waveguides - Part 4: Relevant specifications for circular waveguides

IEC 60153-4:2022 specifies straight hollow metallic tubing of circular cross section for use as waveguides in electronic equipment. The aim of this document is to specify the hollow metallic waveguides:
a) the details necessary to ensure compatibility and, as far as essential, interchangeability;
b) test methods;
c) uniform requirements for the electrical and mechanical properties
This document is intended to be read in conjunction with IEC 60153-1, which gives general requirements and test methods. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2017. edition:
a. change of the designation scheme for small circular waveguides (e.g. C 25.5k instead of C 25500);
b. revision of Table 1:
- correction of two waveguide designations (now C 1.2k, C 12k);
- correction of three waveguide diameters (C 140, C 1.4k, C 14k);
- tightening of inner diameter tolerances for waveguides smaller than C 890;
- deletion of waveguide attenuation values for aluminium, gold, and brass;
c. deletion of Table 2 (duplication) and replacement with the table of intermediate waveguide sizes originally envisaged here;
d. addition of an equation for calculating the attenuation of waveguides made of any material.
