DIN EN 61338-4 2005-11 PDF

Full title and description

DIN EN 61338-4:2005-11 — Dielektrische Resonatoren vom Wellenleitertyp — Teil 4: Rahmenspezifikation (English: Waveguide type dielectric resonators — Part 4: Sectional specification). This is the German adoption of EN 61338-4:2005 which in turn is identical to IEC 61338-4:2005 and provides a framework (sectional) specification to be used when preparing detailed specifications for waveguide-type dielectric resonators.

Abstract

This standard defines the preferred ratings, characteristics and general performance requirements for waveguide-type dielectric resonators and indicates the appropriate tests and measurement methods (as referenced from the IEC 61338-1 series) to be used when writing detail or order specifications. It is intended to support consistent specification, ordering and quality assessment of both catalogue and custom resonator products.

Scope

The standard applies to waveguide-type dielectric resonators supplied as catalogue items or custom products whose quality is assessed by capability or qualification approval. It prescribes preferred values and characteristics and indicates the tests and measurement procedures (drawn from IEC 61338-1 and related parts) to be used when preparing detailed specifications or purchase requirements. The document is intended to be used as a sectional (framework) specification, i.e. to be completed by a detail specification for a particular resonator.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and classification of waveguide-type dielectric resonators and related terminology.
• Preferred ratings and characteristics (preferred values, tolerances and marking conventions).
• General performance requirements to be referenced in detail specifications (frequency, Q-factor, temperature behavior, mechanical robustness).
• Reference to test and measurement methods from IEC 61338-1 and its subparts (electrical, mechanical and environmental tests, permittivity measurement methods).
• Quality assessment and approval concepts (capability approval / qualification approval) for suppliers and production lots.
• Guidance for ordering information and how to complete blank detail specifications.

Typical use and users

Used by RF and microwave component designers, manufacturers of dielectric resonators, procurement and quality engineers preparing purchase specifications, test laboratories performing acceptance or qualification testing, and standards committees. It is particularly relevant when suppliers and purchasers need a consistent framework for specifying mechanical, electrical and environmental performance and for defining test methods and acceptance criteria.

Related standards

Part of the IEC/EN 61338 series. Closely related documents include IEC/EN 61338-1 (Part 1: Generic specification / test and measurement methods), IEC 61338-1-3 (measurement method for complex relative permittivity), IEC 61338-2 and IEC 61338-3 (other series guidance and outlines), and relevant environmental/test standards such as the IEC 60068 family and IECQ quality-assessment documents referenced by the series. When using Part 4 as a framework, the detailed tests and procedures are generally taken from Part 1 and subparts.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: DIN EN 61338-4:2005-11 is the German (DIN) adoption of EN 61338-4:2005 / IEC 61338-4:2005 and provides a sectional (framework) specification for waveguide-type dielectric resonators.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers preferred ratings, characteristics and general performance requirements for waveguide-type dielectric resonators and points to the appropriate test and measurement methods (primarily those in IEC 61338-1 and its subparts) to be used when preparing detail specifications.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: RF/microwave engineers, resonator manufacturers, procurement and quality personnel writing purchase specifications, and test laboratories performing acceptance or qualification testing.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: This entry describes the 2005 edition (DIN EN adoption, Nov 2005). Listings in national catalogs show the 2005 text as the published/active edition; however, users should verify the current status or any amendments with the issuing body (DIN) or the IEC webstore to confirm whether later revisions or withdrawals exist.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the IEC 61338 series (waveguide-type dielectric resonators). The series includes Part 1 (generic specification and test methods), Part 1‑3 (permittivity measurement), Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4 (this sectional specification) and related blank detail-specification documents.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Waveguide dielectric resonator, sectional specification, IEC 61338-4, DIN EN, microwave resonator test methods, Q-factor, permittivity, capability approval, qualification approval.
