Flann Microwave is offering a line of orthomode transducers for applications through 140 GHz. Designed for use with dual-polarized antennas, these waveguide components are available in broadband and narrowband versions. For example, model 22780 provides an in-line port with frequency range of 27.5 to 29.5 GHz and orthomode port with range of 27.5 to 29.5 GHz. The isolation between ports is 45 dB while the return loss is 23 dB. The insertion loss is controlled to a mere 0.2 dB. For more information, visit the Flann Microwave website at: www.flann.com
