Waveguide Tee
A waveguide tee is a three-port device used in microwave systems to split or combine signals. It comes in various forms, including E-plane, H-plane, and Magic tees, each designed for specific applications. This component is essential for directing RF energy in multiple directions, enhancing system design flexibility.
Dolph Microwave excels in the design and production of high-performance waveguide tees, including the advanced 4-port magic hybrid tees and the conventional 3-port E-plane and H-plane tees. These components are crucial for power division, signal routing, and antenna subsystems in various microwave systems. Dolph Microwave’s waveguide tees are renowned for their exceptional phase and amplitude balance, minimal insertion loss, and high isolation, ensuring optimal performance in demanding applications.
