Flann Microwave provides in-house microwave and millimeter-wave waveguide component calibration and verification service to 500 GHz. a service that is fully traceable according to ISO9001 and ISO10012 whilst being underpinned by Flann’s many years of knowledge and expertise.

Flann can verify a wide range of precision test and measurement waveguide components, calibration kits and instruments:

• Millimeterwave and sub-millimeterwave calibration kits 90 to 500 GHz
• Waveguide Verification kits 1.14 to 112 GHz
• Double ridged calibration kits 2 to 40 GHz
• Waveguide Calibration kits 1.14 to 500 GHz
• Precision waveguide flanges
• Offsets
• Terminations
• Shorts
• Waveguide sections

Flann proudly supports a wide range of precision mechanical and microwave technical capabilities and as a result carries out a number of precision mechanical and microwave measurements. The majority of the mechanical measurements are undertaken by CMM and the capability covers tolerances in the range of +/- 0.013mm for WG6 or +/-0.0012mm for WM570 whilst microwave measurements are undertaken in Flann’s comprehensively equipped test lab equipped with VNAs from 50 MHz to 500 GHz:

• Aperture size in A and B
• Flange flatness of all flange faces
• Offset lengths
• Waveguide section lengths
• PF dowel hole diameter and true position to the aperture
• Aperture size at a plane offset to the flange face equal to that of the grade tolerance
• Internal waveguide corner radius

A test report and calibration certificate is issued once the service has been completed.
