KRYTAR 102008010 2–8GHz 10dB Directional Coupler
Manufacturer: KRYTAR, Inc.
Product Type: Broadband Directional Coupler
Frequency Range: 2GHz to 8GHzNominal Coupling: 10dB
Standard Connector: SMA Female
Description: Compact stripline directional coupler with stable 10dB coupling, high directivity and 50W average input-power capability across the 2 to 8GHz range.
The KRYTAR 102008010 is a four-port directional coupler designed for broadband operation from 2 to 8GHz. This frequency range covers the S and C microwave bands used by radar, satellite communication, wireless, electronic warfare and RF test systems.
The coupler provides 10dB nominal coupling with ±0.25dB frequency sensitivity. Its 20dB minimum directivity supports separation between forward and reverse signals, while the 50W average and 3kW peak ratings allow use in higher-power monitoring applications.
Standard SMA female connectors simplify integration with commonly used RF cables, adapters, instruments and subsystem assemblies.
