Description
The Andrew 222040-3 is an unjacketed, Super Premium HELIAX elliptical waveguide designed for microwave communications operating from 5.925 to 6.425 GHz.
It belongs to the EW52 waveguide family and uses corrugated copper construction to carry microwave signals between compatible antennas and radio equipment.
The Super Premium designation provides a specified VSWR of 1.05:1 and return loss of 32.3 dB, offering improved matching compared with standard and Premium EW52-family products.
Unlike the jacketed EWP52S, this version has no protective polyethylene outer jacket. Installation planning must account for the exposed waveguide construction and any necessary environmental protection.
