About WR159 Waveguide
WR159 waveguides are transmission line structures for guiding electromagnetic waves. Components are used to support several different processes. Depending on the function of the component, they may assist in measuring, coupling, circulating, transmitting, terminating, combining, dividing, calibrating, shifting, or controlling signals.
In microwave engineering, the phrase ‘WR159 Waveguide’ refers to the mechanical dimensions and waveguide size classification of the component. While the ‘WR’ indicates the waveguide is rectangular, the ‘159’ indicates the inner width dimension of the component is 1.59 inches (40.386 mm). Other useful information to know includes:
| EIA Standard | IEC Standard | Frequency Range | Inner Dimensions (mm) |
| WR159 Waveguide | R58 Waveguide | 4.90 to 7.05 GHz | 1.59 in. x 0.795 in. (40.386 mm x 20.193 mm) |
