Applications & Markets

Flexible and flexible / twistable waveguide are used in a wide variety of telecom, satcom, military and aerospace applications. Waveguide carries the high frequency radio (microwave) signals in both communication and radar
systems. Due to its helically wound design, flexible / twistable waveguide can be simultaneously twisted and bent in both planes.

The principle applications are:

• An aid to positioning parabolic reflectors in line of sight microwave radio links.
• The elimination of installation difficulties caused by misalignment or system variations.
• To isolate vibration.
• To permit the relative movement of equipment due to thermal expansion.
• To accommodate moving equipment in radar scanners.
