RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet documentation from Fairview Microwave or authorized distributors to confirm current availability and technical specifications. Ensure that the 40 dB coupling value and 10-15 GHz range align with your system requirements before procurement. Check for any updated revision notes regarding packaging or interface compatibility.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select the FMWCT1018 when a fixed 40 dB coupling ratio is required for frequencies between 10 GHz and 15 GHz. Consider this module for general-purpose applications where standard directional coupling characteristics are sufficient. Evaluate physical size constraints and mounting requirements against the bag-packaged unit dimensions provided in official documentation.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This component belongs to the Fairview Microwave line of RF interconnects and integrated circuits. It serves as a passive microwave device used to sample a portion of the forward or reflected wave in a transmission line. The product falls under the category of directional couplers, distinct from attenuators or isolators within the manufacturer's portfolio.
