Contactless Waveguide Flange Enables Faster Measurements

摘要

Applications continue to expand for mmWave and THz frequencies in aerospace, military, industrial and consumer markets. The result is increasing demand for faster and more reliable methods of testing waveguide components. At these frequencies, a rectangular waveguide is commonly used to carry the signals between components and subassemblies, with standard and non-standard flanges as the predominant means for connecting waveguide sections. When joined, precisely machined flanges provide continuous electrical contact around the mated waveguide openings.
