About
The KRYTAR Model 101040010-SQ is a space-qualified directional coupler, part of KRYTAR’s stripline designs, offering excellent coupling over an ultra-broadband frequency range of 1.0 to 40.0 GHz. This component is housed in a single, compact, and lightweight package. It is specifically designed for systems applications where external leveling, precise monitoring, signal mixing, or swept transmission and reflection measurements are required. The product undergoes additional reliability and quality assurance inspections during all phases of assembly, electrical evaluation, and shock/vibration testing to meet the stringent demands of space applications. Parts, materials, and processes are fully traceable from subordinate to top-level assemblies. The coupler features a Nominal Coupling (with respect to output) of 10 dB, ±1.0 dB, and a Frequency Sensitivity of ±1.52 dB. Its Insertion Loss (including coupled power) is less than 1.3 dB for 1-20 GHz and 1.7 dB for 20-40 GHz. It boasts a directivity greater than 14 dB (1-20 GHz) and 10 dB (20-40 GHz). The Maximum VSWR (any port) is 1.5 (1-20 GHz) and 1.7 (20-40 GHz). The Input Power Rating is 20 W average and 3 kW peak. The coupler is equipped with industry-standard 2.4-mm Female Connectors. Its compact dimensions are 2.00 inches (L) x 0.40 inches (W) x 0.65 inches (H), and it weighs only 1.3 ounces. KRYTAR’s couplers provide solutions for various applications including Space, electronic warfare (EW), commercial wireless, SATCOM, radar, signal monitoring and measurement, antenna beam forming, and EMC testing environments. The compact size makes it ideal for space-restricted applications. KRYTAR also offers complete engineering services for custom designs to meet specific performance and/or packaging specifications, and the product can be manufactured to meet rigid military specifications. KRYTAR has a successful space heritage, offering innovative products, quick-reaction capability, design responsiveness, flexibility, fast production turn-around, and partnerships with customers.
