Waveguide Transitions up to 325 GHz
Waveguide transitions are critical passive components that enable seamless connectivity between different waveguide standards and configurations in high-frequency RF systems. These transitions provide frequency conversion and impedance matching across broadband millimeter-wave ranges, spanning from WR510 down to WR3 waveguide standards up to 325 GHz. The portfolio includes both rectangular-to-rectangular and rectangular-to-circular transition architectures for flexible system integration.
