Waveguides and components

Waveguides are used, for example, in S-parameter measurements, frequency-extended VNA systems, power measurements, detection, radar/SatCom applications and in semiconductor characterisation.

Typical components include waveguide adaptors, attenuators, couplers, detectors, calibration kits, interconnects and antennas. Further components, such as noise sources, are listed on the RF components page.

To ensure reproducible measurement results, it is not only the choice of the right component that is crucial, but also the correct design of the entire measurement setup. We can assist with the selection of suitable waveguides and coaxial-to-waveguide adaptors for your specific measurement setup – from individual components right through to integration into complex RF, mmWave and THz test systems.

The transmission of coaxial RF signals to waveguides – and vice versa – is becoming increasingly important in high-frequency measurement technology. With rising frequencies, wider-band signals and higher demands on signal integrity, precise coupling between different interfaces is becoming a decisive factor.
