Waveguide Straights up to 1700 GHz for Advanced RF Systems
Straight waveguides represent essential transmission line components for high-frequency RF and millimeter-wave systems. This expanded portfolio covers frequencies from standard microwave bands through the WR0.65 waveguide band, extending operation up to 1700 GHz in the sub-terahertz region. These precision-engineered sections serve critical functions in telecommunications infrastructure, radar systems, satellite communications, and laboratory instrumentation.
