56-200

This training system allows the user to investigate the principles of microwave transmission systems, such as those used in radar and communications links. It is a precision-made system, which uses standard type WG16(WR90) waveguide components to illustrate the essential elements within this field of study. It is completely self-contained and provides the means to allow students to carry-out realistic practical work.
