E-Band WR12 Waveguide passive components

Product catalog summary

Features & Benefits

E-Band waveguide products are designed for both space and terrestrial environments, offering temperature stability and high-performance broadband connectivity.
Mechanical modifications can be made upon request, and products are qualified through in-house environmental stress screening, including mechanical shock, vibration, and humidity testing.
Sample data and test reports are available to aid in the design and qualification process.

Applications

LEO satellite downlinks
Ground and airborne satellite uplinks

E-Band WR12 Hybrid Couplers

Smiths Interconnect provides a range of E-Band broadband waveguide components for ground station and satellite communications. These components include waveguide isolators, circulators, terminations, transitions, hybrid and directional couplers, RF filters, and multifunction assemblies. Most devices are housed in aluminum with a chromate conversion coating, and transitions are made in Au plated brass.

Specifications

Hybrid Couplers (26WC401, 26WC402, 26WC403, 26WC404) operate in the 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz bands, with a maximum insertion loss of 0.40dB and isolation of 23dB minimum.
High Power Isolators (26CP401, 26CP402) offer a maximum insertion loss of 1.2dB and isolation of 20dB minimum, operating in the same frequency bands.
Transitions to Coaxial (26TM101, 26TM102, 26TM103, 26TM104) have a maximum insertion loss of 0.50dB and return loss of 18dB minimum.
High Power Loads (26TE101, 26TE102, 26TE103, 26TE104) span the 70-90GHz band, with power handling up to 40 Watt CW.

Testing and Qualification

The Dundee, Scotland laboratory offers extensive testing capabilities, including mechanical shock, thermal cycle, optical inspection, RF power withstanding, and more. Tests are conducted per MIL, ESA, or custom standards.

Contact Information

Smiths Interconnect provides global support with dedicated sales and technical support contacts for the Americas, Europe, and Asia across various product lines including connectors, semiconductor tests, fibre optics, RF components, and RF/MW subsystems.
