  • 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.
