A plane wave tube, often referred to as a plane wave generator or plane wave resonator, is a specialized apparatus used in the field of acoustics, electromagnetics, or fluid dynamics to produce and analyze plane waves. The primary function of a plane wave tube is to create a uniform wavefront that approximates a plane wave, which is a wave whose surfaces of constant phase are infinite parallel planes.
