Gapwaves Waveguide Technology

A novel technology for market leading performance in millimeterwave waveguide applications.

The innovation in our solutions lies in the patented Gapwaves waveguide technology with unique capabilities such as combining extremely low losses with market leading cost-efficiency for high production volumes. This results in unique advantages compared to traditional transmission line and waveguide technologies.

The technology is based on an Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) surface that enables propagation of electromagnetic waves in contactless artificial waveguide structures. This is the key to designing high performance waveguide antenna structures with a high degree of flexibility using well-established high-volume production processes.

By combining high performance and standardized manufacturing technologies such as sheet metal processing, metallized plastic injection moulding or metal die-casting, Gapwaves antennas can be tailormade to fulfill the requirements of a wide range of millimeterwave applications.

Furthermore, Gapwaves waveguide technology has unique possibilities of designing tightly integrated solutions, including planar antennas, filters, diplexers, and active components. Gapwaves antennas with multiple ports are very suitable for high performance beamforming applications.

Main application areas are solutions for radar antennas in the automotive industry, autonomous last mile delivery applications such as drones and robots, traffic management, surveillance and phased array antenna solutions for 5G mmWave.

Simply put, we hold the key!
