    Flexible waveguides transmit microwave and radar signals. The waveguides feature all-metal construction, precise internal dimensions, and flexibility through electroforming — the process of machining an aluminum or stainless-steel mandrel, plating the external surface with metal, and chemically removing the original mandrel. The internal dimensions of the electroform are based on the external dimensions of the machining, so waveguides can be made to extremely tight tolerances. Electroformed waveguides can be installed in confined areas easily. Assemblies are available in custom sizes from microminiature to over 16-ft long.
