QWN/QTG/QTW/QCN Series
Standard and Custom Waveguide Terminations

Characteristics
  • Stock and Custom Models
  • Low VSWR
  • Full Waveguide Bandwidths
  • Available for High Power up to 4 KW CW Applications
 

Product Description

QuinStar Technology’s line of waveguide terminations (loads) are offered in a variety of shapes and styles, power capacities and cooling methods to suit both typical and special applications.

The QWN Series Standard Terminations consist of an RF-absorbing material mounted in a flanged waveguide. These standard terminations, offered in the K through G waveguide bands can dissipate 0.5-2 W average power, depending on the specific band.

The QTG/QTW Series Medium and High-Power Terminations are designed with standard waveguide flanges for use from 12.4 to 220 GHz. Each unit consists of a short length of waveguide and an integral matched terminal load. Individual resistive dielectric loads are tapered to precise wedge configurations for maximum effective energy absorption. The gradual taper provides a low VSWR over the full waveguide bandwidth. These terminations are particularly well suited for applications where a low VSWR waveguide load is essential.

Custom High Power Terminations are available with custom form factors for Radar and other high power transmitter applications. These units are specially designed and manufactured to meet the customer's mechanical and electrical requirements, and may incorporate passive convection cooling, active forced-air cooling or liquid cooling. They are available within the C- to Ku-Bands, and capacities of up to 4 KW CW are offered and can be designed for use at cooled cryogenic temperatures (QCN series) and in vacuum environments.
