Waveguide Sweep Bends

Microwave Techniques manufactures waveguide sweep bends in E-Plane and H-Plane configurations, with several geometries and sizes available for high-power RF and microwave applications.

We utilize the most advanced fabrication methods and manufacturing techniques in the forming of precision waveguide sweep bends. Our designs offer extreme reliability and provide optimum performance.

Typical bend angle is 90 degrees. However, other angles or bend radii can be readily supplied.

An overview of our product line capabilities for waveguide sweep bends includes:

A variety of standard flanges and custom interfaces
Full height (2:1) ratio and reduced height configurations
Ability to incorporate cooling and other custom features
Units available for high pressure and high vacuum environments

If you do not see the specific waveguide sweep bend you require, contact sales@microwavetech.com to discuss your exact product requirements with a technical sales engineer.

Please note all product data, specifications, and descriptions are subject to change at the sole discretion of Microwave Techniques and must be confirmed at the time of order.

¹ 30,000 V/cm Breakdown Voltage Unpressurized Waveguide 1:00:1 VSWR Average power is based upon unpressurized painted aluminum waveguide, internal surface finish of 63µm, under free convective cooling with an operating temperature that is 25oC above ambient temperature. Cooling options should be considered if the waveguide will be operating at higher average power levels - please consult factory.
