WR-04 Waveguide Amplifiers for H-Band Applications
The WR-04 waveguide amplifier series provides high-performance millimeter-wave amplification for the H-Band frequency range from 195 to 260 GHz. Available in both Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) and High Power Amplifier (HPA) configurations, these compact modules enable complete signal chain solutions within a single waveguide standard. The platform is engineered for satellite communications, radar systems, and precision test equipment operating in the millimeter-wave spectrum.
