The perturbation method of renormalization is used to study the effect of nonlinearity on a hard‐walled rectangular waveguide. The excitation would induce only the fundamental nonplanar symmetric mode if the system were linear. The analysis develops a solution that satisfies a nonlinear wave equation for the velocity potential, as well as all boundary conditions. The response consists of a pair of oblique planar waves that interact through second‐order excitation of the true planar mode. The investigation discloses that in the high‐frequency limit the signal has a quasiplanar behavior. In contrast, for very low frequencies exceeding the cutoff value, the oblique waves are essentially independent. The distortion is then a result of self‐refraction, in which the particle motion shifts the wave fronts and rays. The transition between the low‐ and high‐frequency limits is marked by the appearance of nonlinear frequency dispersion, which produces asymmetrical distortion of the waveform.
