Waveguide products

Waveguide products are specialized hollow metal structures that guide high-frequency electromagnetic waves, especially at microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies. Unlike coaxial cables, waveguides offer extremely low signal loss and high power-handling capabilities, making them ideal for high-performance RF systems.

Advantages:

• Very low insertion loss over long distances

• High power handling with minimal heat buildup

• Supports higher frequencies than coaxial solutions

• Offers excellent shielding from external interference

• Durable and long-lasting for harsh environments

Working:
Waveguides operate based on the principle of guiding electromagnetic waves through a hollow, conductive structure—typically rectangular or circular in cross-section. The physical dimensions of the waveguide determine its cutoff frequency and supported modes. Transitions and adapters are used to connect waveguides to coaxial systems.

Uses:

• Radar and aerospace communication systems

• Satellite ground stations and space equipment

• Microwave test benches and labs

• Industrial RF heating systems

• High-frequency transmission in defense applications

Strengths:

• Ideal for microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies

• Reduced transmission loss compared to coaxial cables

• Rigid, durable, and thermally stable

• Available in customizable shapes (bends, twists, flanges, etc.)

• Compatible with standard waveguide sizes (WR-75, WR-90, WR-28, etc.)
