Device Overview

General Description

The C20-1000WG is a WR-10 20dB waveguide coupler featuring high 36 dB directivity over a 75-110GHz operational bandwidth. These waveguide components are built with high precision and then gold plated for high corrosion resistance. They have very low 1.15 dB insertion loss and excellent 35 dB return loss. Manufactured to rigid specifications, these transmission line components provide minimum detrimental effects on overall system VSWR.
