Waveguide Pressure Windows

Pressure Windows

Three types of pressure window are availiable :

Glass reinforced PTFE windows and are suitable for pressures up to 40 psi. Windows for standard rectangular waveguide sizes have a VSWR better than 1.10:1 over the full waveguide bandwidth, or 1.05:1 over a 50% bandwidth. Double Ridge sizes have a VSWR better than 1.10:1 over an octave bandwidth, or 1.15:1 over the full frequency band

Kapton windows are available for lower pressures and offer improved performance, typically better than 1.05:1 over the full waveguide bandwidth.

Quartz windows are available for very high power requirements (They are usually tailored to a customer’s particular requirements so please contact the factory for details).

The bodies can be made of brass or aluminium and various finishes can be applied. Standard windows have plain faces without a sealing groove and can be supplied to mate with most common flange outlines.

The Waveguide Solution facility is approved to ISO 9001: 2008.
