Default the bends

hi


just wondering how much and how to calculate the loss in some common
coax for ex lmr400 over a given bend

naturally i mean not to exceed it's bend radius spec

but i figure electrons want to stay in motion and 'prefer' to go
straight so if i make a bend some of that energy i recon will be lost


a 90 degree bend is within spec for the above and i wonder how much i
loose

i know some of my variables lmr400 90bend and for ex 20m and 70cm



thanks
