Abstract
The invention provides a method for precisely joining two sections of dielectric waveguides to form a waveguide joint, wherein such waveguides comprise a dielectric core, preferably of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), one or more layers of dielectric cladding, preferably of PTFE, wrapped around the core, and one or more shielding layers wrapped around the cladding. A precise joint is provided wherein the two joined sections of waveguide are precisely oriented axially, radially and rotationally with respect to each other.
