Terminations & Loads
Ferrite Microwave Technologies terminations and loads are manufactured with reliability and mechanical strength as the primary design factors. In conjunction with Mega Industries and the FXR Dummy Load product line, we offer loads from WR28 to WR2300+, with designs including finned, unfinned, liquid cooled, air cooled, coupled water loads, super high power, and beyond. Our standard loads satisfy industry requirements where reliable performance, rugged construction, and reasonable cost are the primary considerations.
Passive Components
We have design capability for a wide range of waveguide components, including: couplers, windows, filters, phase shifters, waveguides, transitions, and beyond. High-power waveguide components by FMT are utilized across a diverse range of markets, from industrial processing, to medical oncotherapy, to weather and military radar applications. Our team will help you design and fabricate a wide variety of microwave devices. We offer a full range of services from initial design consultation for new components, to research and development.
INDUSTRIAL MICROWAVE SYSTEMS
Ferrite Microwave Technologies’ Industrial Microwave Systems Division offers complete solutions for tempering, cooking, drying, heating, and industrial materials processing. In addition to full microwave systems, FMT offers replacement parts and refurbishment services for magnetron tubes and circulators, as well as on-site system maintenance service and repair.
Food Processing: Tempering, Boost Heating & Cooking
Our industrial microwave systems are used to dry, boost-heat, temper or fully cook food items. Microwave energy has been utilized by the food processing sector since the 1970s for bacon cooking, and uniform tempering of deep frozen products. Recent advances have opened up new applications for drying, boost-heating, cooking, and tempering certain foodstuffs. All of FMT’s microwave systems are FSMA and FDA compliant and constructed of food-grade materials. We can also add microwave power to existing food processing equipment or infrastructure.
Microwave Power: Generators & Transmitters
Each of our microwave systems receive power from our very own FMT microwave generators. FMT offers a full line of 896, 915, 922, and 929 MHz microwave generators with 75 kW and 100 kW options, plus custom-tailored power solutions. Our proven microwave generator technology shows with the largest install base in the industrial sectors, and within the food processing industry. Occasionally, industrial processors use generators as standalone power units. However, when combining FMT microwave generators together, power levels of up to 1.2 MW are achievable.
Industrial Microwave Heating, Drying & Materials Processing
The industrial heating and drying marketplace is filled with various applications for our microwave system technology. This includes foam treatment, lumber preparation, drying of textiles, chemicals heating, coal treatment, oil reclamation, and beyond. Whether your interest is microwave-assisted heating or materials drying, we have microwave system designs specifically for your application. We customize every system, built to suit the customer’s facility and requirements. We are happy to manufacture custom cavities and applicators to fit non-standard requests.
Power Combiners
As a Microwave Techniques company, we offer advanced solutions for microwave power combining technology. Our waveguide and coaxial power combiners include: Hybrids, SSPA Combiners, Isolated & Non-Isolated, Switching Networks, and more. Ferrite Microwave Technologies and Mega Industries have a standard portfolio of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 16-way combiner options, and develop custom power combiners for high-power RF applications.
Integrated Waveguide Assemblies
Our advanced microwave engineering team designs and fabricates a variety of integrated waveguide assemblies. We’ve previously built assemblies for clients in the medical, weather radar, and military radar fields. FMT assemblies include components such as: circulators, loads, couplers, pressure ports, arc detector sections, waveguides, along with mounting and support brackets. Units deliver electrically and mechanically ready for system integration.
Microwave Techniques:
MEGA, FMT and IMS
The Microwave Techniques group is the global leader in high-power microwave components and industrial microwave systems. The combination of MEGA, FMT, and IMS offers clients a single source for all things microwave.
MEGA
MEGA is a global leader in high-power waveguide solutions, spanning from WR28 to WR2300+. In addition, MEGA also provides coaxial, broadcast, and ultra-high vacuum compatible components for a diverse range of clients in the medical, scientific, communications, and military radar sectors. Since 1989, Mega Industries has been a trusted name in high-power microwave technology and RF solutions.

IMS joined the Microwave Techniques group in 2021.
What Our Clients are Saying
“We like using the microwave to reduce moisture loss and save money. It also frees up locations we would normally use to temper the product. We save approximately 2% yield loss and free up 400 locations which normally were used for tempering product.”
“We now have properly thawed product that only took minutes to thaw instead of days. We now can react quickly to schedule changes and don’t have extra thawed product that needs to be refrozen if something goes wrong during production.”
“They were always willing to listen and collaborate to help deliver the results we were seeking. I never felt that we were any less important than other customers.”
“Overall the microwave investment is going to pay off in a very short time and our finished product never looked better.”
