CABLES & CONNECTORS
Waveguide Contactless Flange
Eravant’s patent-pending Proxi-Flange™ (STQ-WG-05025-FB-CF) is constructed with a special waveguide flange populated with an array of small pin-like structures to realize the RF choking actions. The Proxi-Flange™ avoids the problem of poor return loss and high insertion loss caused by imperfect contact when two waveguide flanges are mated. The captive screws normally used in waveguide test sets can cause cocking issues if tightened unevenly, but Proxi-Flange™ eliminates the need for any waveguide screws, resulting in improved durability, measurement consistency and repeatability.
