Description
Andrew F090HKS3 FlexTwist® WR90 Flexible Twistable Waveguide, 8.2–12.4 GHz, 900 mm, PDR100 to PBR100
The Andrew F090HKS3 is a 900 mm (35.43-inch) flexible, twistable rectangular waveguide assembly designed for microwave transmission systems operating from 8.2 to 12.4 GHz.
Part of the Andrew FlexTwist® series, this WR90 waveguide provides a flexible connection between rigid waveguide components, microwave antennas, and radio equipment where bending, twisting, or mechanical alignment adjustments are required.
The assembly features a PDR100 flange on one end and a PBR100 flange on the other, providing compatibility with corresponding WR90 waveguide connections.
Designed for X-band microwave applications, the F090HKS3 supports 960 watts average power and 180 kW peak power, with a specified VSWR of 1.10:1 and attenuation of 0.43 dB per meter.
Its flexible construction accommodates installation around obstructions, reduces mechanical stress caused by alignment differences, and provides a practical alternative to multiple rigid waveguide sections.
The F090HKS3 is suitable for point-to-point microwave radio links, antenna feed systems, radar installations, and other high-frequency applications requiring a flexible WR90 waveguide connection.
