WT4 Millimeter Waveguide System: Waveguide Installation

Abstract

This paper describes the insertion method for installing WT4 waveguide. The rationale for the selection of the insertion method over competing installation techniques is provided, and the field installation tools and techniques developed to splice and push waveguide are described. Insertion sites are selected by the criteria given in this paper. The analysis of expected push forces is presented, and an example push force problem is solved.
