FMWCT1092

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The FMWCT1092 is a general-purpose RF directional coupler manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates within the WR-112 waveguide frequency range of 7.05 GHz to 10 GHz. The component provides a coupling factor of 20 dB and utilizes a UG-51/U square cover flange interface configuration. Designed for signal conditioning applications, it supports standard N-type connections for coupled port access while maintaining waveguide integrity through the primary path.

RF Directional Couplers Feature Summary

• Operates as a crossguide directional coupler within the WR-112 waveguide band
• Features a 20 dB coupling factor for precise signal sampling
• Incorporates UG-51/U square cover flange for secure waveguide mounting

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• RF signal monitoring in microwave test setups
• Power measurement systems requiring directional sampling
• Waveguide circuit isolation and feedback control

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific flange configuration and connector type against system requirements before ordering. Confirm that the WR-112 dimensions align with existing waveguide infrastructure. Ensure the 20 dB coupling value meets the sensitivity needs of downstream measurement equipment. Check availability status as supply conditions may vary by region.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 20 dB coupling ratio is required within the 7.05–10 GHz spectrum. Consider the physical size of the UG-51/U flange for integration space. Evaluate if the general-purpose design suffices for the intended power levels and bandwidth stability. Compare against other couplers if variable coupling or different waveguide sizes are needed.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This component belongs to Fairview Microwave's line of RF directional couplers designed for high-frequency applications. It serves as a passive signal conditioning device, enabling the extraction of a portion of the forward or reflected wave without significantly disturbing the main transmission path. It complements their broader portfolio of waveguide interconnects and accessories.
