WAVEGUIDE AND COAXIAL
Example 1
• You require a WR-42 straight section(S), 12” long. Flange 1
• The waveguide material selected is bronze(B).
• Flange 1 is to be grooved(G) to accept a gasket
• Flange 2 at the other end is to be flat cover(C).
• The flange mounting holes are to be threaded(T2). A
Materials
Straight and complex sections can be specified from a choice of high conductivity copper, bronze or aluminum. Flexible wave-
guide is manufactured from a convoluted beryllium-copper alloy material that is fully pressurizable and is flexible in both the E and
H planes. Longitudinal twists are not possible with this type of flexible waveguide. If a rigid longitudinal twist section is required, a
suitable one can be specified from the UBS 112 series. For longitudinal twist use the 118 series of flexible twistable waveguides.
Section Dimensions
The maximum length of rigid waveguide is 6 ft, flexible waveguide is 2 ft, and flexible twistable waveguide is 4 ft.
You are advised to contact UBS for assistance in specifying large complex sections to best meet your requirements.
