A double-ridge waveguide bend is a precision component used to redirect signals in broadband microwave systems while maintaining low VSWR and minimal insertion loss. These bends are essential in systems where space constraints or layout requirements prevent straight waveguide runs. 🔹 Key Features: - Waveguide Type: Double-ridged (e.g., WRD-180, WRD-110, WRD-750) - Frequency Range: Typically from 0.84 GHz to 40 GHz, depending on size - Bend Types: - E-Bend: Bends in the electric field plane - H-Bend: Bends in the magnetic field plane - Mitered or Swept: For reduced reflections - Standard Bend Angles: 45° or 90° (custom angles available) - VSWR: ≤ 1.25 typical - Material: Aluminum or copper, often silver-plated or oxidized for corrosion resistance - Flanges: FP/FM or custom (e.g., MIL-spec)
