RFS Waveguide with standard jacket, frequency range 27.5-33.4 GHz

Order number: 7000 00624700

The FLEXWELL® elliptical waveguide is a longitudinally seam-welded, highly conductive copper tube, corrugated and precision-formed into an elliptical cross-section. It is manufactured in continuous lengths using a special seam welding process developed by RFS.

The wave design achieves high transverse stability, flexibility and compressive strength for excellent handling and shaping during installation. The stability and flexibility of the FLEXWELL® waveguide enables a continuous installation from the antenna to the remote transmitter unit.

A FLEXWELL® elliptical waveguide feeder requires less planning and reduces installation costs, compared to a feeder system with a rigid rectangular waveguide.
