Waveguide Miter Bends
Waveguide miter bends are precision-engineered components used to change the direction of microwave signals within a waveguide system. They are designed for minimal signal loss and reflection, ensuring efficient signal transmission. These bends are critical in complex microwave systems, radar, satellite communications, and testing setups, accommodating various angles to meet specific design requirements.
Dolph Microwave specializes in the production of waveguide miter bends, offering both E-plane and H-plane configurations with angles primarily at 90°, and special orders available for 30°, 45°, and 60° bends. These components are integral in directing microwave signals within a system, ensuring minimal signal loss and reflection for efficient transmission. Our bends are designed to meet the needs of various applications, from radar systems to satellite communications, with a focus on precision and performance.
