The Electromagnetic effects of TVAC & Space on Passive Waveguide devices & How each can be simulated

As featured in Everything RF   Designing and manufacturing components to withstand the harsh environment of outer space is an additional challenge compared to ground-based equivalent products. Before the components even reach outer space, they are subjected to continuous mechanical vibrations from the launch and experience a large pressure difference from leaving the atmosphere. Finally,…

Waveguide’s Future Market – Space

As with most technology, waveguide has been no exception to a miniaturisation over the years caused by a constant drive for higher frequencies. This is due to the benefits discussed in the first post of our blog series about waveguide’s future markets. However, to still achieve a useable power within these millimetric designs a higher…

What are Waveguide Polarizers?

As featured in Everything RF   Communication links from antenna often use dual polarization as it allows a doubling of the information capacity of a wireless channel. Circularly polarized waves can offer better propagation with reduced fading and multipath losses because it is possible to receive all orientations of the signal. Signals propagating in rectangular…
