Flexible / Twistable Waveguide:
Flexible/twistable waveguide core starts life as a spool of 0.1mm thick, silver plated, brass strip. The strip is then precision rolled into a three-dimensional profile before being helically wound around a rotating mandrel to form a continuous rectangular tube with uniform cross section and internal silver plating to minimize loss. Flexible / twistable waveguide is not pressure tight without a jacket.
Flexible Seamless Waveguide (Non Twistable) :
Seamless flexible waveguide is manufactured from a thin brass tube, which is mechanically manipulated into a corrugated form to produce a seamless flexible waveguide. The seamless construction generally allows for greater power and pressure handing although length is limited to 1 metre. |
