Waveguide Switch
Operating from 110 to 170 GHz, model SWJ-06-T1 is an E-plane bidirectional DPDT waveguide switch that alternately connects each port to one of its two adjacent ports. Often used to achieve component redundancy or configuration agility in radar and communication systems, the four-port switch changes positions within 125 ms typically. Nominal insertion loss is 1.5 dB while port isolation is 45 dB. With typical return loss of 20 dB, the switch requires ±28 VDC at 250 mA and a TTL-level control signal.

Semi-Rigid Waveguide Sections
Developed last year, this range of seamless semi-rigid waveguide sections provide insertion losses and VSWR comparable to machined waveguide straights but offer possibilities to form complex bend and twist solutions. WM-250 (750 GHz to 1.1 THz) and WM-380 (500 to 750 GHz) straights in lengths of 1 and 2 in. were recently delivered to the National Physical Laboratory, confirming RF performance figures of 16 dB/100 mm in WM-250 and 8 dB/100 mm in WM-380.

Filters & Multiplexers
JQL Technologies Corp. has launched ceramic waveguide filters and multiplexers from UHF band to X-Band. The fundamental advantage of this new technology is low insertion loss and higher attenuation and higher power handling capability. JQL has successfully introduced this product for global 5G programs. JQL has also developed space qualified diplexers using ceramic waveguide technology in S-Band. The devices have gone through group B qualification and screening tests.

Splitter/Combiner Channels
Mini-Circuits’ model COM-2G42G51K0+ four-way power splitter/combiner handles up to 1.2 kW CW power from 2.4 to 2.5 GHz. Typical insertion loss is just 0.1 dB above the nominal 6 dB split, with typical amplitude imbalance of ±0.15 dB and typical phase unbalance of ±1 degree. Ideal for RF energy generators, S-Band amplifiers and industrial heating systems, it measures 6.116 × 4.803 × 1.339 in. (155.34 × 122 × 34 mm) with one female 7/16 DIN connector and four female N-type connectors.
