Fairview Microwave’s lines of precision waveguide bends are widely used in applications such as high efficiency RF, microwave and mm-wave transmissions, satellite and military communications, radar, telecom, instrumentation and test benches. In waveguide systems that require a signal to turn or bend 90 degrees, Fairview’s waveguide bends are used to facilitate that bend or turn without degrading the transmission signal. These WG bends operate from 5.85 GHz to 90 GHz across 12 frequency bands and are available in sizes from WR-12 to WR-137. This family of waveguide bends also boast low loss and VSWR as low as 1.08:1 and are available in both E-plane and H-plane configurations. They are constructed using gold plated, oxygen free hard copper (OFHC) or painted copper alloy depending on the model and are also offered with either a UG-style flange per the military standard or a CPR-style flange. Many models are RoHS compliant.

Infotainment & Telematics
-
Developing automatic test systems for the automotive industry is one of our core areas. This industry in particular is characterized by rapid technological progress and ever faster time-to-market requirements.In the vehicle, multimedia devices are used for pure entertainment, but also as vehicle information, which are intended to cover security and navigation services.Infotainment and telematics devices such as eCall modules, connected gateways, instrument clusters or the HMI (Human Machine Interface) are networked with each other and with the most important vehicle functions. All of this is made possible - in addition to GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) - by wireless and new communication standards such as A 2 B, BLE, C-V2X, Wi-Fi 6 and 5G.The complex networking is a very attractive factor for drivers and passengers, but this complex communication can become a major challenge for developers.High-speed interfaces and high-frequency modules used in combination must send and receive signals between the different devices absolutely error-free.With our individual and sensitive test and inspection systems, we also simulate vehicle components or emulate the vehicle environment and thus ensure the functionality of your devices. We take your pioneering developments to the next level.

Hyperspectral Imaging Sensors
-
HYPERSPEC® sensors are line-scanning instruments (sometimes called pushbroom) that collect reflected light through an image slit. One row of spatial pixels is collected per frame as motion occurs, with each pixel containing full spectral data. Motion can be accomplished in two ways: either as an airborne deployment (UAV, aircraft, or satellite) or stationary (where motion is accomplished beneath the sensor, such as a food inspection line). A third option is also available where pan-and-tilt or rotary stages allow a fixed-location sensor to scan a stationary object (such as a piece of artwork, or a mine face for geological applications).
