Frequently Asked Questions
What is a WR-10 waveguide?+
A WR-10 waveguide is a rectangular waveguide with internal dimensions of 0.100 x 0.050 inches, designed for guided electromagnetic wave transmission in the W-band frequency range of 75 GHz to 110 GHz. The WR-10 designation follows the EIA standard where 10 represents the broad wall dimension in hundredths of an inch.
What frequency range does the WR-10 waveguide cover?+
The WR-10 waveguide covers 75 GHz to 110 GHz, which falls within the W-band. This frequency range supports automotive radar (77 GHz), passive millimeter-wave imaging, radio astronomy, and atmospheric remote sensing.
What materials are used in RF Essentials WR-10 waveguides?+
RF Essentials WR-10 waveguides are manufactured from OFHC copper for the waveguide body and precision-machined brass for the UG-387/U-M flanges. Gold plating is applied for corrosion resistance and optimal electrical conductivity.
