ARTICULATED WAVEGUIDE CONNECTION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC H01P3/00 H01P3/14 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: articulated waveguide connection consists of two straight sections of rectangular waveguides mounted in movable and fixed cylindrical housings, between the walls of which a spherical bearing is placed such that its centre coincides with the point of intersection of the axes of the movable and fixed waveguides. Flat flanges with choke grooves are mounted at the ends of the waveguide sections. The inner surface of the cylindrical housing is coated with a layer of radar absorbent material.

EFFECT: wider bending angles and turning the movable waveguide connection with a short length of the movable waveguide connection, longer service life of the movable waveguide connection and reduced loss of microwave radiation.
