Waveguide Bends

Waveguide bends are essential components in microwave engineering, designed to redirect electromagnetic waves along a desired path within a waveguide system. They facilitate the routing of signals through complex system geometries without significant loss, making them crucial for applications in radar, telecommunications, and satellite communications. Available in various angles and sizes, waveguide bends ensure efficient signal transmission and system integration.

Dolph Microwave presents its comprehensive range of waveguide bends, incorporating both E-bends and H-bends designed to support frequencies from 1.72 GHz to 110 GHz. Available in sizes from WR-10 to WR-430, these waveguide bends are meticulously crafted to ensure precise bending at the desired angle while maintaining a constant cross-section. This meticulous design minimizes energy reflection, ensuring low loss and a VSWR as low as 1.06:1. Dolph Microwave’s waveguide bends are essential for high-efficiency RF, microwave, mm-wave transmissions, and are widely used in satellite and military communications, radar, telecom, instrumentation, and test benches.
