Microwave Trainer WT-9000 is a low cost high performance training system. It is designed to be used in two distinct ways; for teaching and demonstrating common waveguide configurations at all levels of study especially for Technical Colleges and Engineering Universities for undergraduate and graduate courses., It is also used as a design tool for those engaged in research and development of projects in communication.

This training system allows the user to investigate the principles of microwave transmission systems, such as those used in radar and communications links. It is a precision-made system, which uses waveguide components to illustrate the essential elements within this field of study. We use rectangular copper waveguide WR75. The inside of the waveguide is silver plated to make it more conductive. A standard flange is use to connect the components of the trainer with each other.
