Scientific Microwave Corporation (SMC) has introduced the WR75 Half-Height Dual Coupler, which offers a broad coupling response coupled with high directivity, and superior return loss performance from 10.70 to 12.75 GHz, bringing a versatile solution for multiple applications. It facilitates essential functions such as power monitoring, enabling measurement of forward and reflected power in RF and microwave systems, while also supporting non-intrusive signal sampling for network analysis and testing equipment.
In antenna systems, it aids in signal splitting and power combining, optimizing overall performance. Additionally, in amplifier setups, the coupler ensures stability through feedback control and efficient power distribution. Within communication systems, the coupler enables seamless signal distribution while providing crucial isolation between components. In test and measurement environments, it supports calibration and load pull testing, ensuring accurate RF component evaluation.
This broadwall coupler provides a coupling of 25 dB and has a directivity of more than 16 dB. It can handle a CW input power of 100 W with an insertion loss of 0.2 dB and a VSWR of 1.20:1. This coupler is available in an Aluminum housing with SMA-female connectors.
With its reliability and adaptability, the WR75 Half-Height Dual Coupler proves indispensable in various RF applications, ranging from power monitoring to communication systems and test setups.
