Waveguide sweep bends, also known as swept bends, are offered in a variety of waveguide sizes. Mega Industries utilizes the most advanced fabricating methods for the forming of precision waveguide bends. Strict adherence to EIA dimensional tolerances ensures a minimum reflection coefficient over the waveguide band. Typical VSWR is 1.05:1. Standard material used is 6061-T6 Aluminum; however these can also be supplied in Copper and Brass.

The radii listed below are the recommended dimensions for 90 degree bends; however, other radii and angles can be readily supplied to minimize system design costs. Units are available for both high pressure and high vacuum applications. Pieces are available in full height (2:1 ratio) as well as reduced height configurations.
