About Us

Established in 1966 by D. Grist and D. Hucker, Alroy Microwave and Electronics Ltd has a workforce of 20 personnel. It is a family run concern, designing, manufacturing and testing waveguide assemblies in a variety of materials for both the commercial and military business sectors.

Within our newly acquired work/machine shop based in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, we manufacture waveguide assemblies, sub assemblies and waveguide components from waveguide R32 (WG10) up to waveguide R320 (WG22) in copper, brass and aluminium. We are also capable of manufacturing double ridge and lightweight seamless waveguide assemblies. The assemblies are either manufactured directly to customers' own specifications or designed by ourselves. We pride ourselves in being able to work to the tightest tolerances, to satisfy customers requirements, and to ensure that customers enquires are priced keenly and that delivery dates are met.

The assemblies we supply, which are listed overleaf, are manufactured using the latest methods and techniques available, along with our own tried and tested methods. All machining, twisting, bending and testing are carried out in-house, giving flexibility in lead/completion times. All manufactured items are tested on one of our Marconi Instruments' spectrum analysers, and inspected in our climate controlled inspection and test area. We operate a quality management system, which comply with the requirements of BS.EN. ISO 9001:2000,

Alroy Microwave also holds approvals for the following:

M.o.D. no. 17VA01, from G.E.C Marconi Avionics Ltd, Matra Marconi Space Ltd and British Aerospace.

Alroy Microwave is frequently asked to design, manufacture, install and test waveguide runs for sat-comms, microwave links and SDH networks in the commercial and military fields. On completion of testing the installed assemblies, we supply the customer with Auto CAD generated drawings along with full test results comprising of: distance to fault, V.S.W.R./return loss and insertion loss measurements, supplied in hard copy and floppy disc format.
