Short Length High Directivity

High Directivity Waveguide Couplers

ATM's Short Length High Directivity Waveguide Couplers are used in applications requiring short insertion length with high directivity.

They are typically used to replace Crossguide Couplers where directivity can be marginal and short length is still important. Select from full wideband band units and shorter partial band units for each waveguide size.

Our high directivity couplers have standard coupling values of 20db, 30db, 40db or 50db. Additional coupling values are available, however the length of the coupler may change. Typical nominal coupling variation is of +/-0.5dB and flatness of +/-0.75dB are obtained by carefully controlled machining patterns.

Pressure sealed units are also available for microwave applications that require sealed systems. Please call us and discuss your needs with one of our design engineers.
