KRYTAR, a leader in the design and production of ultra-broadband microwave components and test equipment, has introduced a family of five (5) new Directional Couplers operating in the frequency range of 0.4 to 7.125 GHz (UHF through C-Bands) with nominal coupling values from 6 dB to 30 dB in compact packages. These couplers offer the ultimate solution for emerging designs and test and measurement applications including mmWave, 5G, radar, satellite communications (SATCOM), radar and more.
KRYTAR’s new directional couplers offer superior performance ratings including:
- Model 10040712506: 6 dB Nominal Coupling, ±1.2 dB Frequency Sensitivity, 2.0 dB Insertion Loss
- Model 10040712510: 10 dB Nominal Coupling, ±1.2 dB Frequency Sensitivity, 1.4 dB Insertion Loss
- Model 10040712516: 16 dB Nominal Coupling, ±1.0 dB Frequency Sensitivity, 0.9 dB Insertion Loss
- Model 10040712520: 20 dB Nominal Coupling, ±1.2 dB Frequency Sensitivity, 0.9 dB Insertion Loss
- Model 10040712530: 30 dB Nominal Coupling, ±1.2 dB Frequency Sensitivity, 0.8 dB Insertion Loss
All models exhibit an input power rating of 20 W (average) and 3 kW (peak). The directional couplers come with industry-standard SMA-female connectors with optional SMA-male and N-type (female) connectors. The compact packages measure just 6.00 inches (L) x 0.50 inches (W) x 0.73 inches (H), and with SMA-female connectors weigh only 5.0 ounces. The operating temperature is -54° to 85° C.
KRYTAR’s new directional couplers are uniquely designed for systems applications where external leveling, precise monitoring, signal mixing or swept transmission and reflection measurements are required. KRYTAR couplers offer solutions for many applications including electronic warfare (EW), mmWave, 5G NR (New Radio), Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E, SATCOM, radar, MIMO (Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output) radio links, signal monitoring and measurement, antenna beamforming, and EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) testing environments. The directional couplers can also be manufactured to meet rigid military specifications.
