Overview

The standard SIST HD 123.6 S2:2002, published by the CLC, provides relevant specifications for medium flat rectangular hollow metallic waveguides. This document is a part of a broader international set under the IEC 60153 series concerning hollow metallic waveguides, detailing both mechanical and electrical requirements for these specific waveguide types. The standard includes precise dimensional tolerances and electrical test criteria, crucial for ensuring waveguide performance in telecommunication and RF applications.

Key Topics

  • Waveguide Types and Designation
    Medium flat rectangular waveguides are categorized by a type designation comprising a code ("153 IEC-M") and a numerical size identifier. This number correlates approximately to the geometric mean frequency of the recommended frequency range for waveguide operation, typically from 1.25 to 1.9 times the cut-off frequency in the dominant mode.

  • Mechanical Requirements
    This standard specifies detailed mechanical dimensions and tolerances:

    • Inside dimensions have a tolerance of approximately ±0.001 of the nominal width.
    • Wall thicknesses and eccentricities have defined limits, with eccentricity not exceeding 10% of the nominal thickness.
    • Outside dimensions maintain a tolerance of about ±0.002 of the inside nominal width.
    • Rectangularity, bow, twist, surface roughness, and internal stress conditions are mandated as per IEC Publication 153-1, Part 1.
  • Electrical Testing
    Key electrical performance parameters include attenuation and characteristic impedance irregularity:

    • Attenuation must not exceed 1.3 times calculated theoretical values at 1.5 times the cut-off frequency.
    • Irregularity of characteristic impedance has specific limits to ensure signal integrity.
    • Additional testing includes gas tightness to meet defined performance standards.
  • Dimensional Tables in Metric and Imperial Units
    The standard provides comprehensive tables listing waveguide dimensions, tolerances, frequency ranges, and attenuation values in both millimeters and inches, supporting international manufacturing and quality control.

Applications

This standard is essential for manufacturers, designers, and engineers involved in the production and utilization of medium flat rectangular hollow metallic waveguides used in:

  • Telecommunications: Ensuring consistent waveguide dimensions for efficient microwave transmission lines and components.
  • Radar Systems: Providing reliable component specifications to sustain high-frequency signal transmission.
  • Satellite and Aerospace Communications: Maintaining mechanical and electrical precision in harsh environments.
  • Industrial Microwave Systems: Applying standardized materials and shape criteria to optimize waveguide performance.

By adhering to SIST HD 123.6 S2:2002, stakeholders ensure compatibility, reduce signal loss, and promote interchangeability across international boundaries.

Related Standards

  • IEC 60153-1: General requirements and measuring methods for hollow metallic waveguides-complements part 6 by defining testing protocols and baseline mechanical criteria.
  • IEC 60153-3: Specifications for other types of rectangular waveguides including the flat rectangular waveguides referenced within this standard.
  • Other IEC Waveguide Parts: Cover different waveguide shapes and frequency ranges, enabling comprehensive standardization across waveguide applications.

INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION
HOLLOW METALLIC WAVEGUIDES
Part 6: Relevant specifications for medium flat rectangular waveguides
FOREWORD
1)
The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters, prepared by Technical Committees on which all the
National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.
2)
They have the form of recommendations for international use and they are accepted by the National Committees in that
sense.
3) In order to promote this inte
rnational unification, the IEC expresses the wish that all National Committees having as
yet no national rules, when preparing such rules, should use the IEC recommendations as the fundamental basis for these
rules in so far as national conditions will permit.
4)
The desirability is recognized of extending inte rn
ational agreement on these matters through an endeavour to harmonize
national standardization rules with these recommendations in so far as national conditions will permit. The National
Committees pledge their influence towards that end.
PREFACE
This Recommendation was prepared by Sub-Committee 46B, Waveguides and their Accessories,
of IEC Technical Committee No. 46, Cables, Wires, and Waveguides for Telecommunication Equipment.
It contains Part 6: Relevant Specifications for Medium Flat Waveguides, of the complete 1EC Recom-
mendation for Hollow Metallic Waveguides, and it is intended to be used in conjunction with Part 1,
General Requirements and Measuring Methods, which is issued as IEC Publication 153-1.
Relevant specifications for other types of waveguides will appear in companion publications.
The general outline of this Recommendation was first discussed at a meeting held in Ulm in 1959.
A draft was prepared which was considered at the meeting held in Interlaken in 1961. As a result of this
latter meeting, a draft was submitted to the National Committees for approval under the Six Months' Rule
in February 1962.
Several countries submitted comments which were informally considered during the meeting held in
Bucharest in 1962. as the voting period had not yet expired by that time. Based on the comments received,
some amendments were submitted to the National Committees for approval under the Two Months' Pro-
cedure in January 1965. Some comments were discussed and accepted at the meeting held in Baden-Baden
in 1965.
