FMWCT1112

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The FMWCT1112 is an RF directional coupler module manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for general-purpose applications within the microwave frequency spectrum. It operates in a frequency range of 5.85 GHz to 8.2 GHz and provides a coupling factor of 20 dB. This component facilitates signal monitoring and measurement tasks in radio frequency systems by sampling a portion of the transmitted or received power while maintaining system impedance characteristics.

RF Directional Couplers Feature Summary

• Provides precise 20 dB coupling factor for signal sampling
• Operates effectively within the 5.85 GHz to 8.2 GHz frequency band
• Designed as a general-purpose module for standard RF applications

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• General-purpose RF signal monitoring

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model designation FMWCT1112 against official Fairview Microwave documentation to confirm the 20 dB coupling value and 5.85-8.2 GHz operational range. Ensure compatibility with existing system impedance requirements before integration. Cross-reference datasheet specifications for insertion loss and directivity metrics if detailed performance validation is required for the intended application environment.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 20 dB coupling ratio is required within the C-band or lower Ku-band frequencies. The general-purpose design suits standard laboratory or industrial RF setups. Consider physical form factor and connector types available from the manufacturer to ensure mechanical fit within the assembly constraints.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

Fairview Microwave produces a range of RF interconnects and passive components. The FMWCT1112 belongs to the directional coupler category, supporting signal integrity analysis. These modules are typically used alongside connectors and adapters to build complete RF test fixtures or integrated transmission lines.

RF Directional Couplers Replacement Considerations

No public substitute part numbers are documented for the FMWCT1112. Direct replacement requires matching the 20 dB coupling and 5.85-8.2 GHz frequency range exactly. Consult Fairview Microwave technical support for potential alternative models with similar specifications if this specific module is unavailable.
