Tallguides

Tallguide TG31 for 33 to 55 Ghz. TG31 replaces WR22 waveguide.

Ultra low loss Tallguide (TALLGUIDE ®) is a unique form of precision rectangular waveguide that exhibits one tenth (1/10) the transmission line loss of standard WR type waveguide. Tallguide's virtual loss free transmission mode appeals to multi-mode waveguide technology where as many as 15 higher order modes may propagate. See Tallguide ® Loss Savings Compared with Standard Waveguide for detailed graphical information over the 5 to 110 Ghz frequency band. Tallguide has all necessary bends, twists and straight sections that are essential to lay out any waveguide run. A Tallguide run consist of transition units from standard waveguide into Tallguide, H-plane bends, twists, straight sections and mode suppressor in-between. Tallguide enables the interfacility waveguide run distance, between the control room and transmitting antenna, to be specified for convenience.

Typical applications are satellite uplinks and radar. For example, the ASDE 3 short pulse airport surveillance radar, uses Tallguide at most major airports within the US, Canada and Europe. Often, ASDE 3 Tallguide runs are several hundred feet long. For satellite communications applications, Tallguide increases uplink power --- significantly reducing earth station cost.
