WR284 Waveguide: Details and Specifications
WR284 waveguides are transmission lines, used as structures for guiding electromagnetic waves. Depending on the component and its particular function, certain devices may help in supporting other processes. Components may assist in terminating, coupling, transmitting, calibrating, combining, dividing, and/or mixing signals at a specified frequency.
In RF engineering, the phrase ‘WR’ is short for Waveguide, Rectangular. Its corresponding number (284) denotes the inside width of the waveguide (in hundredths of an inch). So, a WR284 waveguide component suggests the waveguide is rectangular, and its inner dimension width is 2.84 inches (72.136 mm). Other details and specifications include:
| EIA Standard | IEC Standard | Frequency Range | Frequency Band | Inner Dimensions (mm) |
| WR284 Waveguide | R32 Waveguide | 2.60 to 3.95 GHz | S-Band | 2.84 in. x 1.34 in. (72.136 mm x 34.036 mm) |
Applications and Uses
WR284 Waveguide Components are commonly used in S-Band radar systems. In addition, our components reach sophisticated clients in a variety of other cutting-edge applications. Some current applications and uses include:
