Wave-Glide™ Rail Positioning System

Wave-Glide

Frequency Extension System to 330 GHz

The Wave-Glide™ Rail Positioning System is a patent-pending rail system designed by Eravant and Copper Mountain Technologies to streamline millimeter-wave VNA testing using frequency extenders and the Proxi-Flange™ contactless flange. The system eliminates the need for inter-connecting waveguides, avoids time-consuming manual alignment, and increases throughput by providing a stable, accurate, and repeatable platform. It consists of a set of linear rails with mounting plates to connect various vendor extender modules, and supports the Proxi-Flange™ family from WR-42 up to WR-05 (covering up to ~220 GHz).
