SMW10EC001-20

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The SMW10EC001-20 is a signal conditioning component manufactured by Fairview Microwave, classified under the filters sub-category. It functions as a WR-10 waveguide broadwall coupler with an E-plane coupled port. The device operates within a frequency range of 18 GHz to 26.5 GHz and provides a coupling factor of 20 dB. Constructed from brass copper, it features UG-595/U square cover flanges for interface compatibility.

RF Directional Couplers Feature Summary

• E-plane coupled port configuration for directional signal sampling
• Broadwall coupling design optimized for WR-10 waveguide dimensions
• UG-595/U square cover flange interfaces for standardized mounting

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• Signal monitoring in high-frequency microwave systems
• Power measurement setups utilizing WR-10 waveguides
• Test and measurement instrumentation requiring E-plane coupling

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify current manufacturing status as the component is listed as obsolete and no longer manufactured. Confirm availability of recommended substitutes such as FMW10CP010-20 through official manufacturer channels. Ensure that any replacement part maintains identical WR-10 waveguide compatibility and frequency specifications to preserve system integrity during procurement.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component specifically for applications requiring a 20 dB coupling factor within the 18 GHz to 26.5 GHz band. Ensure system requirements align with WR-10 waveguide standards and UG-595/U flange interfaces. Consider the obsolete status when planning long-term supply chains and evaluate equivalent performance characteristics in available substitute models.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This component belongs to Fairview Microwave's signal conditioning portfolio, specifically designed for waveguide applications. It serves as a passive RF element used to sample or split signals in high-frequency environments. The product line focuses on precision components for microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies, supporting complex interconnect needs.

RF Directional Couplers Replacement Considerations

The manufacturer recommends FMW10CP010-20 as a substitute. Verify that the replacement maintains the same WR-10 waveguide size, 20 dB coupling factor, and E-plane coupling orientation. Ensure flange compatibility with existing UG-595/U interfaces before integration.
