RF Waveguide
Precision aluminum waveguide components for high-frequency RF applications
Project Overview
This RF waveguide project required manufacturing precision aluminum components for high-frequency telecommunications equipment. The waveguides needed extremely tight tolerances and superior surface finish to minimize signal loss and ensure optimal RF performance.
Using advanced CNC milling and EDM processes, we achieved the precise internal dimensions and smooth surfaces critical for waveguide performance. Gold plating was applied to all internal surfaces to maximize conductivity and minimize insertion loss across the operating frequency range.
