Waveguide Sliding Short

Waveguide Offset Short

A waveguide sliding short is a device that can be positioned and moved within a waveguide cavity to achieve a short-circuit termination. It employs a non-contact sliding mechanism to form an effective short circuit by adjusting the internal geometry of the waveguide.

I. Basic Concept & Principle

Definition: A waveguide sliding short is a device that can be positioned and moved within a waveguide cavity to achieve a short-circuit termination. It employs a non-contact sliding mechanism to form an effective short circuit by adjusting the internal geometry of the waveguide.
Operating Principle: It provides a reference impedance in calibration systems, serving as a reference for error analysis in waveguide test setups. It is also used for VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) and impedance measurements by establishing an accurate reference plane.

II. Product Features

  • Reflection coefficient close to 1.0, with extremely high VSWR (typically ≥ 50~100)
  • Smooth movement and precise positioning, with scale or micrometer fine adjustment
  • Low loss and high repeatability, suitable for precision tuning
  • All-metal construction (brass / copper alloy, silver-plated)
  • Standard WR waveguide flange interface
  • Broadband operation, covering the full waveguide frequency band
