Manufacturing Processes
Our capability extends to the design and manufacture of complex custom waveguide assemblies for space payload and radar applications. An array of in-house manufactured components such as cast waveguide bends, tees and flanges can be assembled using Sylatech’s custom blend of, precision machining and advanced metal joining techniques. These methods include flame or dip brazed, silver soldered, welded, mechanically fastened or adhesively bonded.
Our techniques afford exacting control over fine tolerances, which are required to achieve strong electrical performance. This includes thermal modelling and analysis of high power devices. Designs can be optimised for performance to meet the requirements of specific frequency ranges.
Typical Assembly Components
Wavguide Mitre Bends and Flanges
Investment cast, light-weight waveguide bends and flanges, are manufactured in aluminium or copper alloys. Commonly these are E and H planes, covering WR650 to WR15.
Twists
Ultra-short twists allowing the orientation of the waveguide to be rotated 90 degrees in an extremely short length.
Magic Tees
Magic tees with variants of linear, folded E-port and folded H-port available VSWR across the selected band, is tuned to cover 10-15% of the full bandwidth.
Waveguide to Coaxial Adapters and Transitions
Waveguide to coaxial adapters and transitions in a variety of connector configurations with sizes ranging from WR975 to WR28.
