†
VDI triplers are warrantied for room temperature operation. VDI can offer an enhanced warranty that extends the standard VDI warranty to cryogenic operation. Contact VDI
for costs associated with the cryogenic warranty option.
††
Unwanted harmonic performance assumes appropriate RF input power.
†
RF
Flanges with ‘WR’ designation have UG
-387/U-M flanges, with the exception of the WR-19, which has a UG-383/U flange.
††
Efficiency assumes appropriate RF input power is applied to the device. Reduced efficiency is possible at band edges & upper and lower input power limits. Efficiency is
defined as the RF output power, expressed as a percentage of the RF input power.
*Integrated Diagonal Horn antenna has a gain of ~25dBi specified at the center of the waveguide band. The gain changes as a function of frequency. See VDI Application Note:
VDI Waveguide Feedhorn Specification (VDI-1001) for more information.
**Additional power options may be available upon request. Contact VDI for more information.
Part Number Format
Use “VDI Part Number” in above table with appropriate suffix for the desired input power option.
Example: WR2.2X3HP
–
VDI Frequency Tripler with output frequency of 325-500 GHz and RF input power range of 15-70mW.
