Waveguide connectors are tapered through multistep transitions that adjust their shape in stages from elliptical to the rectangular shape of industry-standard waveguide flanges. Each connector has a pressure inlet to allow the connection of pressurization equipment. Made of brass to provide long service life and compatibility with metals used in the waveguide itself.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Low-VSWR multistep taper minimizes insertion loss from elliptical to rectangular waveguide
- Pressurization port supports dehydrated/pressurized runs for long service life
- High power handling with robust metallurgy and thermal paths
- Field-installable designs with standard tools; repeatable assembly at tower or rooftop
- Flange compatibility with common standards (WR sizes / CPR, PDR, UG)
- Coax transitions available (e.g., N-female, 7-16) for direct handoff to jumpers/ODUs
- Weather-resistant gaskets and finishes for outdoor environments
