Double-Ridged Product Family
Build a Broadband Waveguide System from Compatible Components
Select double-ridged routing sections, adapters and control components by operating band, interface and RF acceptance limits. The published Dolph portfolio includes routing sections, flexible connections, adapters, junctions, switching devices, pressure components, loads, attenuators and calibration hardware.
Published family rangeCore double-ridged product tables span WRD840 through WRD180 and 0.84 GHz through 40.0 GHz; availability varies by component type.Interface controlSpecify the WRD family, flange style and flange designation at every connection point.Performance controlVSWR, insertion loss, isolation, coupling, power and pressure limits are component-specific and should not be generalized across the full portfolio.Custom assembliesProvide a system drawing when multiple bends, straights, transitions or flexible sections must be supplied as one assembly.Product Categories

Six Inputs for a Double-Ridged Waveguide Quote
A family-level inquiry without interface and performance data normally creates avoidable engineering back-and-forth. Define the system boundaries first.
01 / FUNCTIONComponent Role
Routing, transition, division, coupling, switching, rotation, termination or calibration.
02 / BANDOperating Range
Provide the complete frequency band and the selected WRD family.
03 / INTERFACEMechanical Ends
State the flange type, clocking, connector type and available installation envelope.
04 / LIMITSAcceptance Limits
Define applicable VSWR, loss, power, isolation, coupling or leak requirements.
05 / ENVIRONMENTOperating Conditions
Temperature, pressure, vibration, corrosion and sealing requirements.
06 / RECORDSDocumentation
Specify drawings, material records, dimensional inspection and RF test data.
