HWCA-121F-EL, WR-12 to 1.0mm Wageguide to Coax Adapters

Introducing the HASCO HWCA-121F-EL Waveguide to Coaxial adapter, manufactured for end-launch (straight) requirements. This adapter is designed for WR-12 waveguide and has a UG387/U compatible flange with a 1.0mm Female connector. A 1.0mm Male version is also available upon request.

Key specifications of the HWCA-121F-EL:

60 GHz- 90 GHz
Insertion Loss: .75 dB Typ.
VSWR: √1.7:1 (17dB RL) Typ.
UG-387/U Compatible Flange
Operates Across the Full WR-12 Band

This precision full-band coax-to-waveguide end launch adapter converts between TEM mode in coax and the 1.0 mm connector to TE10 mode in WR-12 waveguide. This adapter offers exceptionally low loss for an end-launch configuration. The measurements show the loss and VSWR of two adapters measured back-to-back in a calibrated waveguide measurement system, which infers a loss for each adapter at half the measured value, and a VSWR of the square root of the measured back-to-back value. An outer rim based on the widely adopted ALMA recommendation form an anti-cocking flange that is backward compatible to the Mil-F-3922/67B standard. For test-and-measurement applications, our gold-plated solid brass body and stainless steel alignment pins ensure reliable gall-free mating over multiple mate and de-mate cycles.

The End Launch configured Waveguide to Coax Adapters are also available in WR-10 and WR-15.
