Pasternack introduces a new portfolio of ultra-high frequency directional waveguide couplers that operate up to 110 GHz. The portfolio includes 28 unique coupler models with varying frequency ranges from 18 GHz to 110 GHz in frequency bands K, Ka, Q, V, E and W.
Two physical configurations are available: the standard waveguide and split block waveguide. “Both the traditional waveguide and split block waveguide versions utilize a multi-hole design which is optimal for power reflection measurements and provides excellent consistency in performance,” according to the company. Bend E and Bend H designs are also available if requested.
The couplers are “offered in various waveguide sizes from WR-42 (K band) to WR-10 (W band) and come in either 10 dB or 20 dB coupling values. These waveguide couplers boast high directivity of 30 dB typical and insertion loss is as low as 0.6 dB in some models. This family of waveguide couplers is constructed using high quality brass copper that is gold plated for added precision and accuracy,” the company added.
The couplers are ideal for sampling signals and are best suited for use in wireless transmissions and receiving systems, test benches, satellite communications, radar systems and telecommunications.
