KRYTAR, Inc., a leader in the design and production of ultra-broadband microwave components and test equipment has announced the continued expansion of its line of ultra-wideband directional couplers with the addition of a new model offering 30 dB of Nominal Coupling over the frequency range of 2.0 to 40.0 GHz (S through Ka-Bands), in a compact and lightweight package.
KRYTAR’s new directional coupler, Model 102040030, enhances the selection of multi-purpose, stripline designs that exhibit excellent coupling over the ultra-broadband frequency range of 2.0 to 40.0 GHz in a single, compact and lightweight package. The new directional coupler lends itself to wireless designs and many test and measurement applications within S through K-Bands.
KRYTAR’s new directional coupler, Model 102040030, offers superior performance ratings including Nominal Coupling (with respect to output) of 30 dB, ±1.0 dB and Frequency Sensitivity of ±1.0 dB. The directional coupler exhibits Insertion Loss (including coupled power) of less than 0.8 dB (2-20 GHz) and less than 1.5 dB (20-40 GHz), Directivity of greater than 11 dB, Maximum VSWR (any port) is 1.5 (2-20 GHz) and 1.7 (20-40 GHz), Input Power Rating is 20 W average and 3 kW peak.
The directional coupler comes with industry-standard 2.4-mm SMA female connectors. The compact package measures just 1.75 inches (L) x 0.40 inches (W) x 0.65 inches (H), and weighs only1.2 ounces. Operating temperature is -54° to +85° C.
KRYTAR 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 ultra-broadband applications including electronic warfare (EW), commercial wireless including mmWave, 5G, 5G NR (New Radio), Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E, mmWave, SATCOM, radar, signal monitoring and measurement, antenna beam forming, and EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) testing environments. For many space-restricted applications the compact size makes KRYTAR directional couplers ideal solutions. The directional coupler can also be manufactured to meet ridged military specifications.
