SUNNYVALE, CALIF. – – – KRYTAR, Inc., a leader in the design and production of ultra-broadband microwave components and test equipment announces a new Directional Coupler operating in the wideband frequency range of 0.5 to 20 GHz (L- through K-Bands) offering Nominal Coupling of 30 dB in a compact package. This coupler offers the ultimate solution for emerging designs and test and measurement applications including mmWave, 5G, radar and satellite communications (SATCOM).
KRYTAR’s new directional coupler, Model 152030, offers superior performance ratings including Nominal Coupling (with respect to output) of 30 dB, 1.80 dB. Frequency Sensitivity is ±1.8 dB. The directional coupler exhibits Insertion Loss (including coupled power) of less than 2.8 dB, Directivity of >10 dB, and maximum VSWR is 1.35 at any port. Input Power Rating is 20 W average and 3 kW peak.
The directional coupler comes with industry-standard SMA Female connectors. The compact package measures just 4.49 inches (L) x 0.53 inches (W) x 0.71 inches (H), and weighs only 3.1 ounces. Operating temperature is -54° to 85° C.
Specifications for the full line of KRYTAR Directional Couplers can be found on the company’s Website: Directional Couplers
KRYTAR’s new directional coupler, Model 152023, coupler is uniquely designed for systems applications where external leveling, precise monitoring, signal mixing or swept transmission and reflection measurements are required. KRYTAR couplers offer solutions for many ultra-broadband applications including electronic warfare (EW), mmWave, 5G NR (New Radio), Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E, SATCOM, radar, MIMO (Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output) radio links, signal monitoring and measurement, antenna beamforming, and EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) testing environments. For many space-restricted applications the compact size makes KRYTAR directional couplers ideal solutions. The directional coupler can also be manufactured to meet ridged military specifications.
