KU-BAND & X-BAND (8.2 GHz – 18.0 GHz)

Ku-Band & X-Band Waveguide Horn Antennas

 

High-gain Ku-Band & X-Band Waveguide Horn Antennas (WR51, WR62, WR75, and WR90). These standard gain horns serve as primary calibration benchmarks for defense radar systems, satellite ground terminals, VSAT links, and military EMC compliance test chambers.

Featuring high linear polarization purity (>30 dB cross-polarization rejection) and uniform radiation patterns across 8.2 GHz to 18.0 GHz.

*CPR, FDP, and FBP flange options and weather-proof outdoor radomes available upon request.
