Short Length High Directivity Couplers For Ka-Band

Short High Directivity Waveguide Couplers

ATM's Short Length High Directivity product line finds particular use in applications requiring short insertion length with high directivity.  They are typically used to replace Crossguide Couplers where their directivity can be marginal and short length is still important. 

These units have coupling irises specifically designed for Ka-Band frequency ranges for the particular WG sizes.  Typical nominal coupling variation is of +/-0.5dB and flatness of +/-0.75dB are obtained by carefully controlled machining patterns. 

Pressure sealed Short Length, High Directivity Couplers are also available for microwave applications that require sealed systems. Please call us and discuss your needs with one of our design engineers.
