Power Combining & Dividing

S Band Power Combiner for use in Digital Airport Surveillance Radar.

Designed and manufactured in house for Air Traffic Control applications.  The centre section of the part comprising the magic and H plane tees was produced machined from solid, the integral loads were fitted to cast 90º bends to keep the height of the device to a minimum.

All electrical and mechanical specifications are subject to amendment without notice.

S Band Power Divider for use in radar application.

Designed and manufactured in house.  Rather than the traditional approach of using tees or couplers with terminations, this divider was manufactured using 3 port E plane tees fitted with a restive vane.  The transition from full height to ½ height is done using 16 special step transition castings.

Two pieces of jacketed flexible waveguide are fitted to the part to account for tolerance stack up during the manufacture.

Note: The devices shown here are examples of products made by MM Microwave.  Other waveguide sizes and port combinations are available.

Configuration: 1 : 16
Inputs: WR284 Flange
Output: ½ height WR284
