What is the purpose of a waveguide flange?
A waveguide flange is the connection interface of a waveguide section. When joining two waveguide sections the flange types must match to ensure minimal losses. Waveguide flanges can be either square or circular. Flanges are usually connected to each other using four or more bolts to keep connection intact.
What is a rigid waveguide?
In microwave engineering, waveguides are transmission lines used to guide electromagnetic waves at specific frequencies. Likewise, a WR650 rigid waveguide section has an inner dimensional width of 6.50 inches.
What are the types of waveguide?
Types of Waveguides
- Rectangular waveguide.
- Circular waveguide.
- Elliptical waveguide.
- Single-ridged waveguide.
- Double-ridged waveguide.
What is WR75?
WR-75 waveguides are structures for guiding electromagnetic waves and are sometimes called a waveguide transmission line. WR75 waveguides can be used in system designs for their high power handling capabilities, antenna feed networks for low loss and phase accuracy and test labs.
What is a microwave choke?
The most common microwave chokes typically are small air-core inductors that have an outside diameter of 0.020″ with five to 100 turns depending on the selected operating frequency range. These devices use very fine wire and have relatively low stray capacitance to a ground plane because of their small physical size.
What is a flexible waveguide?
Flexible waveguide, also referred to as a “flexguide”, utilizes helically wound silver coated brass strips surrounded by a flexible and twistable, yet durable, neoprene sleeve.
What is waveguide corner?
Waveguide bends are used to direct high frequency signals propagating through a waveguide in a specific direction. These bends allow the change in direction of a signal within a waveguide, with minimal loss, reflection and distortion of the electric and magnetic fields.
Where would a flex twist waveguide be used?
Recognized for the ability to aid in positioning and aligning parabolic reflectors in line-of-sight microwave radio links, FlexTwist waveguide components are used in a variety of military and commercial applications.
Are there different types of waveguide flanges?
For rectangular waveguides there exist a number of competing standard flanges which are not entirely mutually compatible. Standard flange designs also exist for double-ridge, reduced-height, square and circular waveguides.
Which is a gasket flange for R220 waveguide?
So for example UBR220 is a square plain cover flange for R220 waveguide (that is, for WG20, WR42), PDR84 is a rectangular gasket flange for R84 waveguide (WG15, WR112) and CAR70 is a round choke flange for R70 waveguide (WG14, WR137).
What is the WR number on a mil spec waveguide?
MIL-Spec flanges have designations of the form UG-xxxx/U where the x’s represent a variable-length catalogue number, not in itself containing any information about the flange. The Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) is the body that defined the WR designations for standard rectangular waveguides.
What kind of flanges do Flann microwaves use?
Most waveguide flange types are available from WG6 (WR650) to WG32 (WR3) Special waveguide flanges can be supplied to order Flann is able to provide ‘free fit’ waveguide flanges for WG6 (WR650) to WG32 (WR3) for customers’ own manufacturing assemblies..
