Special Waveguide Transitions

Name: Special Waveguide Transitions
Brand: DOLPH MICROWAVE
Price: 1 USD

Special waveguide transitions are custom-engineered components used to connect different waveguide sizes, shapes, or types where direct mating is not possible. Dolph’s published range covers WR-2300 to WR-12 and 0.35 to 91.9 GHz, with VSWR ≤ 1.04:1 in overlapping bands. Available in Aluminum 6061 or Brass with UG, CPRG, and UBR flange options, they are built for precise interface matching in telecommunications, radar, satellite, and laboratory microwave systems.

The Dolph Special Waveguide Transitions product family is engineered for interface adaptation between different waveguide sizes, shapes, or types across a published operating range of 0.35 to 91.9 GHz. Covering WR-2300 to WR-12, these transitions are built for microwave assemblies that require controlled geometry, stable interface matching, and low reflection performance. The published electrical target is VSWR ≤ 1.04:1 in overlapping bands, with available base materials including Aluminum 6061 and Brass. Supported flange configurations include UG, CPRG, and UBR, while external non-mating surfaces are finished in gray epoxy enamel for added environmental durability.

Project Suitability: Final configuration should follow actual mating hardware requirements.

Customer Feedback

★★★★★ “Good fit on a mixed interface build”

“We used this transition in a microwave assembly where the two sections were not a direct size match. The flange side was correct, the machining looked clean, and we did not need to touch up anything before installation.”

★★★★★ “Accurate interface combination”

“Our main concern was getting the right input and output interface combination without delay. The unit arrived with the correct flange configuration, and that saved our team time during bench integration.”

★★★★☆ “Well-machined and easy to integrate”

“This was for a custom RF path where a standard same-size connection was not possible. The transition body looked solid, the external finish was even, and the assembly went together without unexpected fit issues.”
