• Equipped with UG-39/U square cover flanges for secure mounting
• Integrates N-type connectors for coaxial interfacing

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• RF directional measurement systems
• Microwave test and measurement setups
• Signal monitoring in C-band applications

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector configuration and flange type against system requirements before ordering. Confirm that the WR-90 waveguide dimensions align with existing infrastructure. Ensure the 50 dB coupling value meets the sensitivity needs of the intended application. Check for any specific handling requirements associated with precision waveguide components.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-isolation directional coupler is required for the WR-90 band. The 50 dB coupling factor makes it suitable for low-level signal sampling. Consider the physical size and weight implications of the waveguide structure compared to coaxial alternatives. Verify compatibility with standard UG-39/U flange interfaces.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This component belongs to Fairview Microwave's RF directional coupler series, specifically engineered for waveguide applications. It serves as a passive device for separating forward and reflected signals in microwave transmission lines. The product line focuses on high-frequency performance and robust mechanical construction for industrial and laboratory use.

RF Directional Couplers Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other WR-90 waveguide couplers offering similar 50 dB coupling ratios. Verify that substitute models support the 8.2 GHz to 12.4 GHz operational range. Ensure replacement units maintain compatible UG-39/U flange and N-type connector specifications.
