Device Overview

General Description

The C20-1500WG is a WR-15 20 dB waveguide coupler featuring high 41 dB directivity over a 50-75GHz operational bandwidth. These waveguide components are built with high precision and then gold plated for high corrosion resistance. They have very low 0.9 dB loss and excellent 32 dB. Manufactured to rigid specifications, these transmission line components provide minimum detrimental effects on overall system VSWR.
