END LAUNCH ADAPTERS 
RE40 SERIES 
• BROAD BAND — OCTAVE OR MORE 
• LOW VSWR 
• HIGH POWER 
DESCRIPTION 
MEC state-of-the-art End Launch adapters fulfill the need 
for in-line units with broadband capability. Their unique 
design achieves low profile with short length, low loss and 
VSWR. 
Of special significance is the inherent ability of these 
units to operate over a multi-octave band at high 
power levels, making them ideal for EW/ECM 
applications where transmission line routing space is 
at a premium.
