Waveguide Crossguide Coupler, W Band, 20 dB Directivity
Full V Band Low Noise Amplifier, Noise Figure 5.0 dB
Waveguide Bandpass Filter, 55.0 to 67.0 GHz
V Band Quadrature Mixer or Phase Detector, 58.0 to 62.0 GHz

Waveguide Crossguide Coupler, W Band, 20 dB Directivity
Model SWX-753114320-10-3B is a W-band split block crossguide that covers the full W-band frequency range of 75 to 110 GHz. This three port design incorporates a termination load at the fourth port to offer a compact size and low insertion loss. The smaller form factor and lower insertion loss make this coupler better suited for certain applications than the multi-hole directional couplers while providing good directivity. The coupler offers 0.7 dB insertion loss with 20 dB typical directivity. All ports feature WR-15 waveguides with UG-387/U-M flanges.10.
