What is BS EN 61338-4 – Specification for waveguide type dielectric resonators about?
BS EN 61338-4 is an international standard that discusses sectional specifications for waveguide type dielectric resonators.
BS EN 61338-4 applies to waveguide type dielectric resonators as custom-built products or as standard catalogue items whose quality is assessed based on capability approval.
Note: The concept of preferred values is in general directly applicable to standard catalogue items but does not necessarily apply to custom-built products.
Who is BS EN 61338-4 - Specification for waveguide type dielectric resonators for?
BS EN 61338-4 on sectional specifications for waveguide type dielectric resonators are useful for:
- Manufacturers of waveguide type dielectric resonators
- Suppliers and designers waveguide type dielectric resonators
- Manufacturers of electronic devices
- Testing authorities
- Regulatory authorities
- Electrical engineers
Why should you use BS EN 61338-4 - Specification for waveguide type dielectric resonators?
A dielectric resonator is a piece of dielectric material, usually ceramic. These dielectric resonators are designed to function as a resonator for radio waves, generally in the microwave and millimetre wave bands.
BS EN 61338-4 gives you sectional specifications for waveguide type dielectric resonators, that specify the preferred ratings and characteristics with the appropriate tests and measuring methods contained in IEC 61338-1. It also covers the general performance requirements to be used in detailed specifications for the dielectric resonators.
BS EN 61338-4 can be your best guide in performing these measurement methods which are as follows:
- The resonant frequency is useful in measuring the interface resistance which helps in improving the quality of resonators.
- The interface conductivity and relative interface conductivity is calculated by using measured interface resistance.
- This method is useful in assuring the uncertainty of relative interface conductivity is less than 5%
By applying BS EN 61338-4, you can ensure the quality, reliability, and efficiency of these resonators which results in standardizing the manufacturing process of waveguide type dielectric resonators.
