Abstract
This document describes high-tolerance channels for multi-part waveguide and antenna. Two structures with planar surfaces are arranged about a separation plane. The planar surfaces are contoured to shape, respectively, an upper channel section and a complementary, lower channel section from an opposite side of the separation plane. Surface features on one or both planar surfaces are shaped to provide physical dimensions (e.g., length, width, and height) for a channel between the upper and lower channel sections. When arranged about the separation plane, the two structures configure an electromagnetic (EM) energy path to propagate a desired EM energy through the channel. At least one of the surface features is shaped to compensate the physical dimensions for achieving different path dimensions inside the channel to enable the EM energy path for propagating the desired wavelength or frequency of EM energy about the separation plane.
