A Magic Tee or Hybrid Tee is a 4 port waveguide tee that is a combination of an E-Plane and H-Plane Waveguide Tee.A magic tee has four ports:Port 1 - Co-linearPort 2 - Co-linearPort 3 - Difference PortPort 4 - Sum PortOperation of a Magic Tee:Case 1:When two signals of equal magnitude are fed from port 1 and 2, we get a zero at port 3 and the sum of the two signals at port 4. Case 2: When a signal...read more

A waveguide tee is a 3 port device that is similar to a power divider.When the axis of the side arm is parallel to the Electric Field (E) of the collinear, then the tee is called a E-Plane Tee Junction. The outputs we get in this type of tee are 180° out of phase with each other, irrespective of from which port the input is fed.If the input signal is fed to port 3, then the output will be split ac...read more

A Waveguide Tee is a 3-port device that can be used to either divide or combine power in a waveguide system. It is formed when three waveguides tubes are connected in the form of the English alphabet 'T'. This is where its name is derived from.There are two main types of Waveguide Tees:1. E-Plane Waveguide TeeA waveguide tee is a 3 port device that is similar to a power divider. When the axis of t...read more

A Waveguide Tee is a 3-port device that can be used to either divide or combine power in a waveguide system. When the axis of the side arm of the waveguide tee is parallel to the flow of the Magnetic Field (H) from port 1 and is perpendicular to the flow of the Electric Field (E), then the tee is called a H-Plane Waveguide Tee.An H-Plane Waveguide Tees can be thought of as a two way in-phase power...read more

What is a Waveguide Bend?

Feb 14, 2018

Waveguide bends are used to direct high frequency signals propagating through a waveguide in a specific direction. These bends allow the change in direction of a signal within a waveguide, with minimal loss, reflection and distortion of the electric and magnetic fields.Unlike coaxial cables which can be bent on demand, waveguide structures are more rigid and require the use of bends to get the sig...read more

What is the difference between E and H Waveguide Bends?

The terms E and H refer to the electrical and magnetic planes of a rectangular waveguide. An E-Bend is when the wider part of the waveguide tube is bent to form the bend and an H-Bend is when the narrow part of the waveguide tube is bent. Click here to learn more about waveguide bends.

A waveguide flange is the connection interface of a waveguide section. When joining two waveguide sections the flange types must match to ensure minimal losses. Waveguide flanges can be either square or circular. Flanges are usually connected to each other using four or more bolts to keep connection intact. To ensure consistency and compatibility across manufacturers, there are two main standard b...read more

What are some Applications of Flexible Waveguides?

Flexible waveguides use mechanically and electrically interlinked metallic structures to form a hollow channel that behaves as a waveguided with enhanced flexible and somewhat reduced performance. As the interlinked metallic structures, even if soldered and crimped, are not perfectly smooth conductive walls, the performance of flexible waveguides will not likely reach that of a traditionally manuf...read more

Iso-adapters are used whenever we need to transition from a coaxial to waveguide interface or waveguide to coaxial interface with low insertion loss and high reverse isolation.Iso-adapters adapters operate over a wide frequency range and are available with various waveguide and connector options. They are usually customized by the manufacturer based on a customers requirement.
