Andrew EWP37-34 HELIAX® Premium Elliptical Waveguide, 3.4–3.9 GHz, Corrugated Copper, Black Polyethylene Jacket
The Andrew EWP37-34 is a premium-grade HELIAX® flexible elliptical waveguide designed for low-loss microwave signal transmission across the 3.4 to 3.9 GHz frequency range.
Part of the Andrew EW37 family, this waveguide is engineered for point-to-point microwave communications, antenna feedline installations, and telecommunications infrastructure requiring efficient RF transmission in the lower C-band microwave spectrum.
The EWP37-34 features a corrugated copper conductor surrounded by a protective black polyethylene (PE) jacket. Its elliptical design provides the flexibility needed to route microwave transmission lines between antennas and radio equipment while maintaining low signal attenuation.
The premium-grade construction provides a specified VSWR of 1.08:1 and return loss of 28.3 dB, supporting excellent impedance matching across its operating frequency range.
At 3.7 GHz, the waveguide has a typical attenuation of 0.923 dB per 100 feet and an average power rating of approximately 9.77 kW under the manufacturer's specified conditions.
The EWP37-34 is suitable for microwave backhaul networks, telecommunications towers, broadcast infrastructure, and other microwave transmission installations requiring high-power handling and dependable outdoor performance.
