Open Ended Waveguide (OEWG) Probes

NSI's open-ended waveguide probes have been specifically designed for near-field measurements.

All probes are standard WR waveguide bands and are supplied with a mounting flange, coaxial transition (for probes below 50 GHz only), absorber, and aperture cover unless otherwise noted.

The NSI 2000 software includes a built-in open-ended waveguide probe model based on a NIST algorithm (Yaghjian-1983).

NSI also offers 0.75 to 40 GHz ridged waveguide probes for broadband near-field measurements. Please call the NSI sales department for your custom probe needs.

Features:
Tapered ends to minimize diffraction effects
Standard mounting fits all NSI scanners
Polyurethane white paint
Waveguide to coaxial transition included (for probes below 50 GHz)
Absorber included
