Abstract
Various embodiments provide for waveguide assemblies which may be utilized in wireless communication systems. Various embodiments may allow for waveguide assemblies to be assembled using tools and methodologies that are simpler than the conventional alternatives. Some embodiments provide for a waveguide assembly that comprises a straight tubular portion configured to be shortened, using simple techniques and tools, in order to fit into a waveguide assembly. For instance, for some embodiments, the waveguide assembly may be configured such that the straight portion can be shortened, at a cross section of the portion, using a basic cutting tool, such a hacksaw. In some embodiments, the straight portion may be further configured such that regardless of whether the straight tubular portion is shortened, the waveguide assembly remains capable of coupling to flanges, which facilitate coupling the straight tubular portion to connectable assemblies, such as other waveguide assemblies, radio equipment, or antennas.
