Hollow metallic waveguides - Part 2: : Relevant specifications for ordinary rectangular waveguides (IEC 60153-2:2016)

This part of IEC 60153 specifies straight hollow metallic tubing of ordinary rectangular
waveguide for use as waveguides in electronic equipment.
The aim of this standard is to specify for hollow metallic waveguides:
a) the details necessary to ensure compatibility and, as far as essential, interchangeability;
b) test methods;
c) uniform requirements for the electrical and mechanical properties.
It should be noted that no recommendations are made for the materials to be used for
waveguides. The choice of material is agreed between customer and manufacturer.
This document should be read in conjunction with IEC 60153-1, which gives general
requirements and test methods.

Il convient de lire le présent document conjointement avec l'IEC 60153-1, qui donne des exigences générales et des méthodes d'essai.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) extension et révision de la plage de fréquences de fonctionnement pour les guides d'ondes;
b) révision des tolérances sur les dimensions d'ouvertures;
c) révision de la méthode d'essai des dimensions d'ouverture;
d) révision des équations d'affaiblissement.

Votli kovinski valovodi - 2. del: Ustrezne specifikacije za navadne pravokotne valovode (IEC 60153-2:2016)

Ta del standarda IEC 60153 določa ravne votle kovinske cevi navadnega pravokotnega valovoda, namenjene za uporabo kot valovodi v elektronski opremi.
Cilj tega standarda je za votle kovinske valovode določiti:
a) potrebne podrobnosti za zagotovitev združljivosti in, kolikor je nujno, medsebojne zamenljivosti;
b) preskusne metode;
c) enotne zahteve za električne in mehanske lastnosti.
Opozoriti je treba, da niso podana priporočila glede materialov, ki se uporabljajo za valovode. Izbira materiala je odvisna od dogovora med kupcem in proizvajalcem. Ta dokument bi se naj bral v povezavi s standardom IEC 60153-1, ki določa splošne zahteve in preskusne metode.

HOLLOW METALLIC WAVEGUIDES –

Part 2: Relevant specifications for ordinary rectangular waveguides

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60153-2 has been prepared by subcommittee 46F: RF and
microwave passive components, of IEC technical committee 46: Cables, wires, waveguides,
RF connectors, RF and microwave passive components and accessories.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1974. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) expand and revise the operation frequency range for waveguides;
b) revise the allowance of aperture dimensions;
c) revise the test method for aperture dimensions;
d) revise the equation of attenuation.

INTRODUCTION
This International Standard relates to straight hollow metallic tubing for use as waveguides in
electronic equipment. In recent year the operation frequency of waveguide components and
system has been extended to 1 THz and above. However, the first edition of the IEC 60153
series of standards only specified the aperture dimensions for ordinary rectangular waveguide
for frequencies up to 325 GHz. In addition, the first edition of the IEC 60153 series of
standards, dating from the 1960's, does not cover current applications. This new edition of
IEC 60153-2 addresses these two issues by extending the frequency coverage to 3 300 GHz
and by addressing current applications for this type of waveguide.
