Wave Guide
A waveguide is a hollow metallic conductor with a circular or square cross-section. The RF signal travels along the inside of the tube, guided by its size and shape, similar to the way sound travels in a tube. The metallic construction of the wave guide keeps it from radiating energy outwards and also prevents unwanted energy from entering the waveguide.
A waveguide is considered an unbalanced transmission line.
