FMWRD180CP01-40

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The FMWRD180CP01-40 is a signal conditioning component manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It functions as a 40 dB WRD-180 Double Ridge Waveguide Broadwall Coupler. The device operates within a frequency range of 18 GHz to 40 GHz. It features a 2.92mm female coupled port for signal extraction. The main body is constructed from brass material. This coupler is designed for high-frequency applications requiring precise directional coupling.

RF Directional Couplers Feature Summary

• Double ridge waveguide design for broad bandwidth operation
• Broadwall coupling configuration for standard waveguide integration
• Integrated 2.92mm female port for precise signal sampling

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• Radar system signal monitoring and analysis
• High-frequency test and measurement setups

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the FMWRD180CP01-40 before procurement, as manufacturer documentation may be updated. Confirm that the 2.92mm female interface matches your system requirements. Check current supply status with authorized distributors, as availability may vary. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to the precision nature of waveguide components.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 40 dB coupling factor is required in the 18 GHz to 40 GHz range. The WRD-180 double ridge waveguide format dictates the physical interface compatibility. The brass construction offers standard durability for laboratory or industrial environments. Consider the 2.92mm output connector type for downstream instrumentation matching.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This part belongs to Fairview Microwave's RF directional coupler series. It utilizes the WRD-180 double ridge waveguide standard, which supports higher frequencies than standard rectangular waveguides. The model number indicates the 40 dB coupling value and the specific frequency band coverage. It serves as a passive signal conditioning element within microwave circuits.

RF Directional Couplers Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Direct replacement requires identical WRD-180 waveguide dimensions and 2.92mm female port specifications. Alternative models from other manufacturers must be verified against the 18-40 GHz operational range and 40 dB coupling tolerance.
