Multi Layer Waveguide
Breakthrough Multi-Layer Waveguide technology for affordable high-frequency low-loss solutions
Since its introduction, Gapwaveguide technology has revolutionized high-performance low-loss mmWave solutions. Offering the performance of waveguide solutions at a fraction of the cost, Gapwaves brings high-end performance to the industry.
Gapwaves has now unveiled Multi-Layer Waveguide (MLW), a breakthrough evolution of its proprietary technology made possible by an elegant synergy of design and manufacturing.
Beyond the advantages that waveguides offer, MLW brings unparallel manufacturing agility, low cost, extremely thin profiles, native thermal handling, and massive maximum dimensions. The result is a paradigm shift where MLW not only improves but also opens unprecedented opportunities in a range of applications and markets, starting from automotive radars.
Key advantages of Multi-Layer Waveguide include:
- Accelerated time-to-market: designed with manufacturability in mind, MLW solutions slash production time for both low- to high-volume scenarios.
- First-class performance: offering waveguide performance and unique industry capabilities.
- Cost efficiency: a solution that significantly reduces development and production costs without compromising quality.
- Efficient heat transfer: Made of metal rather than plastic, MLW offers exceptional thermal capabilities as modern sensors are challenged by the thermal aspects of the powerful chips used.
- Groundbreakingly compact: meeting and exceeding the industry’s needs for reduced size and weight of components. MLW changes the notion that waveguide parts are bulky by significantly reducing it compared to competitive solutions.
- Customization and flexibility: MLW offers superior flexibility and customization into the manufacturing process, as no cumbersome tooling is needed.
- Removing size limitations: innovative approach allows to manufacture massive dimensions, overcoming the limitations of injection molded parts for high resolution radars.
- Fully qualified and trusted: MLW technology has been qualified to the strict automotive standard and fully trusted by leading TIER-1 customers.
- Gapwaveguide robustness: based upon the unique and proprietary gapwaveguide technology, MLW offers the same robustness that is the solid foundation for all our solutions.
