A spacer is required when a flexible waveguide is
connected to a 6 GHz antenna.
A spacer is required when an elliptical waveguide is
connected to a flexible waveguide.
When elliptical waveguides, flexible waveguides, antennas,
and branching units are connected, fix long screws into
through-holes and short screws into blind vias.
Fasten all screws for connecting elliptical waveguides,
flexible waveguides, antennas, and branching units.
