RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type and interface configuration required for your system integration, as datasheet details regarding physical mating interfaces may vary. Confirm that the operating frequency range of 3.22 GHz to 4.9 GHz aligns with your application requirements before procurement. Ensure compatibility with the expected power levels to maintain component integrity.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 40 dB coupling factor is specifically required within the 3.22 GHz to 4.9 GHz band. Consider the ± 1.5 dB tolerance for precision applications. Evaluate if the general-purpose module form factor meets your spatial and integration constraints compared to other waveguide or coaxial variants in the manufacturer's portfolio.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This part belongs to Fairview Microwave's family of cross-guide couplers, which offer various coupling values ranging from 20 to 50 dB. The FMWCP1081-40 represents a specific configuration optimized for the lower end of the Ku-band spectrum, distinguishing it from higher-frequency waveguide counterparts like the WR-229 series.
