Double Ridged Waveguide Switches

Dolph Microwave series model's frequency are covering from 2.60 GHz to 110GHz. Usually, in accordance with drive modes, they can be classified into sub-electric and manual; If by structure, they are classified into sub-E and H-waveguide transfer switches, with rectangular waveguide transfer switch and double ridge waveguide transfer switches. Wave guide switch is commonly used to change the signal pathway in the waveguide transmission system. Taking WRD750 type as below.

Waveguide Switch Design
A waveguide transfer switch is used to route signals from an input path to one or more outputs. Waveguide transfer switch operates in GHz range and are ideal for use in switching applications in microwave communications, broadcasting, radar applications, and many more applications.

Wave guide switch is the operating frequency range for which the device is fully functional or provides the best performance. This waveguide transfer switch is available in waveguide-to-waveguide interface. Switching includes SPST, SPDT, DPDT, SP3T, SP4T, SP6T, etc. The separation of signal levels on adjacent ports of the waveguide switch and is expressed in dB.

Waveguide Transfer Switches Advantage：
The double ridge waveguide switches have higher performing switch mechanisms. With double-ridged waveguide, a nearly complete short circuit can be made by merely bridging the reduced distance between the ridges. It places switching elements within the gap of the ridges.

Waveguide Transfer Switches Types：
The double ridge waveguide transfer switches mainly used for changing the signal channel of waveguide transmission system, according to drive mode which divided to motorized and manual.
