General Specifications




   Component Type       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Transition Adapters
 
     Transition adapters are RF and microwave components used to connect waveguide components of different cross-section sizes.
 
   Bend Assemblies
 
     Bend assemblies are waveguide components used to change the direction of the electric or magnetic field lines inside waveguide systems.
 
   Twist Assemblies
 
     Twist assemblies are waveguide components used to change the polarization of the radio waves inside the waveguide.
 
   Straight Section Assemblies
 
     Straight section assemblies are waveguide components used for straight transition between waveguides.
 
   Offset Section Assemblies
 
     Offset section assemblies are waveguide components used to connect two non-aligned waveguides.
 
   Custom Assemblies
 
     Custom assemblies are waveguide components made according to customer instructions.
 
   Attenuators
 
     Attenuators are waveguide components used to reduce the power level of a signal by a certain amount (gain), with little or no reflection. The output signal is reduced with respect to the input.
 
   Bulkhead Feedthroughs
 
     Bulkhead feedthroughs are straight waveguide sections with a large flange used to attach the unit to a panel or bulkhead. They are designed to support a waveguide section through a bulkhead and to seal the opening. Bulkhead feedthroughs can be used for extending waveguide through a pressurized wall or cabinet.
 
   Circulators
 
     Circulators are passive devices consisting of three or more ports that allow the signal entering each port to pass to the port adjacent to it (either clockwise or counter-clockwise) but not to the port in the other direction.
 
   Couplers
 
     Couplers are RF circuits used to sample the RF frequency transmissions by means of coupling (combining) signals asymmetrically.
 
   Combiners / Dividers
 
     Dividers are circuits that accept an input signal and deliver multiple outputs equal in phase and amplitude. Combiners are devices that accept several input signals and produce a combined output signal. In hybrid varieties, the signal is split into different phases with equal amplitude.
 
   Waveguide Filters
 
     RF filters are made with waveguide components.
 
   Flanges
 
     Flanges are used to connect waveguide sections to one another or to terminate waveguides.
 
   Gain Horn Antennas
 
     Gain horn antennas are used for the transmission and reception of microwave signals. They are more sophisticated versions of the antennas used for high frequency applications such as spacecraft, radio astronomy, or to feed other types of antennas.  They can operate effectively with a dielectric coating. Feed horns, conical horns, rectangular waveguide apertures, slot antennas, slotted waveguides and pyramidal horns are types of antennas that fit into this area. A lens horn antenna is another variation that uses lens elements to collimate divergent energy and prevent it from spreading in undesired directions. Lens horn antennas are applied in secure military communication systems, short range / vehicle anti-collision radar, point-to-point radio links, antenna testing and radiation monitoring systems.
 
   Isolators
 
     Isolators permit a signal to pass in one direction while providing high isolation to reflected energy in the reverse direction.
 
   Phase Shifters
 
     Phase shifters are two-port waveguide modules used to alter the phase of an output signal in response to an external signal. A variable phase shifter changes the output signal phase by applying a variable control signal. There are two broad types of variable phase shifters: analog and digital. Analog phase shifters change the output phase by means of an analog signal (usually voltage). A digital phase shifter uses a digital signal to change the output phase.
 
   Waveguide Polarizers
 
     Polarizers change wave polarization, the orientation (i.e. time-varying direction and amplitude) of the electric field vector.
 
   Pressurizing Sections
 
     Pressurizing sections are waveguide components used to inject or measure air or gases in a waveguide system. Normally, they have a pressure gauge attached to the unit.
 
   Pressure Windows
 
     Pressure windows are components used to seal waveguides at high pressure to keep contaminants out.
 
   RF Rotary Joints
 
     RF rotary joints or rotating couplers are devices used to transmit microwave energy from stationary lines to rotating lines.
 
   Sliding Short Circuits
 
     Sliding short circuits are used in a variety of microwave techniques. For example, they can be used with waveguide tees as a variable shunt for tuning or impedance matching applications. They are also necessary for tuning high performance reflectometer systems. In addition, they are valuable for establishing a reference impedance for the calibration and error analysis of waveguide measurement systems.
 
   Waveguide Switches
 
     RF switches are made of waveguide components.
 
   Waveguide Tees
 
     Waveguide tees are components that allow one signal (line) to branch into two or more lines.
 
   Waveguide Tuners
 
     Tuners are waveguide components used to match the load impedance with the source impedance. Tuners minimize the amount of reflected power, which results in the most efficient coupling of power to the load. Richardson Electronics supplies both manual 3 and 4 stub tuners.
 
   Waveguide Amplifiers
 
     Amplifiers are devices that take in a weak electric signal and send out a stronger one. Amplifiers are used to boost electrical signals in many electronic devices, including radios, televisions, and telephones.
