Waveguide Adapters and Transitions
Waveguide adapters and transitions connect unlike waveguide sizes, flange standards, coaxial launches or module ports in microwave and millimeter-wave paths. They keep the mechanical interface and electromagnetic transition defined between assemblies.
Interface conversion
Adapters and transitions are used when a waveguide run must mate with a different waveguide size, flange pattern, coaxial launch or packaged module interface without leaving the RF path undefined.
Relevant data
Useful data includes waveguide band, flange standard, connector family, insertion loss, return loss, peak or average power handling, alignment features and mounting envelope.

How to Specify and Verify Waveguide and Millimeter-Wave Hardware
Turn a waveguide path into a reviewable specification by controlling band and mode, aperture and flange interfaces, loss and phase, peak and average power, mechanical tolerances, calibration reference planes, uncertainty and acceptance evidence.
