FMW62CP002-40

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The FMW62CP002-40 is a 40 dB WR-62 waveguide broadwall directional coupler manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates within a frequency range of 11.9 GHz to 18 GHz and features an SMA female coupled port. The unit utilizes UG-Cover flange configuration for waveguide interfacing and is constructed from copper material.

RF Directional Couplers Feature Summary

• Provides precise signal sampling via a 40 dB coupling factor in the WR-62 band
• Integrates an SMA female connector for accessible coupled port monitoring
• Ensures reliable mechanical sealing through standard UG-Cover flange design

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• Radar system signal monitoring and analysis
• Microwave measurement setups requiring forward/reverse power assessment
• Test instrumentation for high-frequency waveguide networks

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify that the receiving facility supports WR-62 waveguide dimensions and UG-Cover flange standards before installation. Confirm that the SMA female port interface aligns with existing test equipment connectors. Ensure environmental conditions remain within operational limits for copper components to maintain signal integrity and prevent corrosion during long-term deployment.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 40 dB coupling ratio is required for WR-62 applications between 11.9 GHz and 18 GHz. Choose this model over other couplers if the specific UG-Cover flange interface is mandated by the system architecture. Consider the SMA female output compatibility with standard laboratory vector network analyzers or power meters.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This device belongs to the Fairview Microwave RF directional coupler series, designed for precision microwave measurements. It complements other waveguide accessories like shims and terminations by providing active signal sampling capabilities. The product line focuses on maintaining signal integrity across high-frequency bands using robust metallic construction.

RF Directional Couplers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include models with identical coupling values and frequency ranges, such as the FMW62CP002-30, provided the 30 dB coupling specification meets the system requirements. Verify that any replacement maintains the same WR-62 waveguide size and UG-Cover flange interface to ensure mechanical compatibility.
