Abstract
Waveguide flanges for joining waveguide sections or components are designed to achieve mechanical strength and exhibit desired electrical properties such as relatively low insertion loss and high return loss. The present invention contemplates waveguide interfaces with a new choke flange designed to engage with a shield flange and provide a joint with improved electrical properties. The new choke designs produce a virtual continuity through the waveguide joints and minimize electrical energy leakage. The electrical and mechanical properties of the joint in the waveguide interfaces are robust and able to tolerate lower levels of parts precision, imperfect mating of the flanges without metal-to-metal contact and gaps up to 0.06″ or more between the mating flange surfaces.
