HASCO Building a Complete Line of Millimeterwave Components

Click Here to View our Newest Millimeterwave Components Waveguides are a special form of transmission line used for microwave applications. They are metallic tubes made often of high quality material (copper, brass – partially silvered or gold plated). A waveguide may have rectangular, circular or elliptical cross section. The rectangular waveguide is most commonly used for relatively short connections. Waveguide has a number of advantages over coax, microstrip and stripline. It is completely shielded , it can transmit extremely high peak powers and it has very low loss at microwave frequencies. The main advantage is that waveguides support propagation with […]

HASCO RF and Millimeter Wave Terminations

HASCO offers a large selection of RF and Millimeter Wave terminations up to 170 GHz Understanding Terminations or Loads RF loads or terminations are indispensable components in many RF and Millimeter Wave systems where signal reflection from unused ports can potentially damage the device or reduce the signal integrity. By using a termination on an unused port with a matched load (dummy load), the incident energy will be absorbed with minimal reflection. These termination components are commonly used to terminate devices such as couplers, circulators, and switches. They are also widely used in measurement systems to ensure accurate results.

Dave Hall – HASCO Co-Founder

Dave joined HyTech in 1983. His microwave experience began in 1969 as a Product Line Manager for the Waveguide Products of Systron-Donner (previously DeMornay Bernardi). His responsibilities included the selling of Waveguide products, the development of their Component Catalog, managing the national and international rep organizations, the development of new products, and all other marketing responsibilities. From 1971 to 1977, Dave also served as Product Line Manager for the Spectrum Analyzer, Sweepers and Microwave Subsystems for Systron-Donner. By directing all of Systron-Donner Microwave product lines, Dave developed hands-on experience with simple waveguide passive components to sophisticated microprocessor based instrumentation to […]
