Waveguide Terminations Guide
A waveguide termination, or waveguide load, is a common waveguide component found in many RF systems, including radar, test & measurement, satellite communications, and aerospace communications. Similar to how RF coaxial terminations work, waveguide terminations absorb excess RF energy that enters the termination. Waveguide Termination Terminating a waveguide can be useful for a...
What is a Waveguide Horn?
A waveguide horn, or waveguide horn antenna, is an aperture antenna that uses a gradient transition of the conductive inner wall of the waveguide to the end of the horn in such a way that the waveguide port undergoes an impedance transition that matches with free space. This of course is frequency dependent, and the gradient of the waveguide horn has an impact on the antenna performance. A...
