Waveguide Windows
(22)Waveguide Windows
Microwave Techniques manufactures waveguide windows for high-power RF and microwave applications. Our windows, gas barriers, and pressure windows are available with standard or custom options. We offer compact designs for minimum transmission loss and maximum power handling.
For the best possible performance, we recommend that your microwave feed system be maintained under a slight positive pressure. This helps to prevent the entrance of moisture or other contaminants. In our design of waveguide windows, we utilize the newest dielectric materials to ensure high power handling capabilities and optimum functionality.
If you do not see the specific waveguide window you require, contact sales@microwavetech.com to discuss your exact product requirements with a technical sales engineer.
