Abstract

A series of documentary standards has recently been published (the IEEE 1785 series) that provides specification details for rectangular metallic waveguides used at frequencies from 110 GHz to at least 3.3 THz. This includes values of electrical loss (both reflection and transmission) for these waveguides. However, the values specified in these standards are based on calculated (i.e. modelled) performance and not measured values for real waveguide devices. This paper presents measured values of loss for commercially available waveguides in this frequency range. A comparison is given between the standardized values and values obtained from measurements made under precision laboratory conditions.
