TVAC Waveguide to Coax Adapters up to 110 GHz
Thermal-Vacuum (TVAC) testing is increasingly demanded at the component and sub-assembly levels to demonstrate air and space worthiness. TVAC test chambers must provide temperature-controlled, high-vacuum operating environments with no outgassing from RF cables and adapters. To support the rapid development and deployment of TVAC test systems, Eravant has developed coaxial to waveguide adapters capable of operating at vacuum levels as low as 10-8 Torr at frequencies as high as 110 GHz.
