FMW62CP001-40

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The FMW62CP001-40 is a WR-62 waveguide broadwall directional coupler manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates within a frequency range of 11.9 GHz to 18 GHz and provides a coupling factor of 40 dB. The component is constructed from copper material and features a UG cover flange interface on the main waveguide path. Additionally, it includes an N-Type female port for the coupled signal output. This design supports precise signal monitoring in high-frequency RF systems.

RF Directional Couplers Feature Summary

• Broadwall waveguide construction for stable signal coupling
• UG cover flange interface for secure waveguide connection
• N-Type female connector for coupled port access

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• Radar system signal monitoring
• RF test and measurement setups
• Microwave communication link analysis

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify that the required operating frequency aligns with the specified 11.9 GHz to 18 GHz range. Confirm mechanical compatibility with existing WR-62 waveguide infrastructure, specifically ensuring the UG cover flange matches the installation environment. Check datasheet specifications for power handling limits to ensure safe operation under expected load conditions.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 40 dB coupling ratio is required for the WR-62 band. Consider the copper construction and N-Type output port if these specific interface standards are mandated by the system design. Evaluate alternative coupling values or flange types if the application requires different signal sampling levels or mechanical constraints.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This component belongs to the Fairview Microwave family of WR-62 waveguide signal conditioning devices. It shares the standard WR-62 dimensions and UG cover flange interface with other products in the series, such as the FMW62CP001-10. The primary distinction lies in the specific coupling factor, which defines the amount of signal diverted to the auxiliary port for measurement purposes.
