TTM Technologies, Inc., a leading global manufacturer of technology solutions including mission systems, radio frequency (RF) components and RF microwave/microelectronic assemblies and printed circuit boards (PCBs) has announced the launch of its 5mm x 3.2mm X-Band 8-12 GHz 3dB hybrid coupler and 20dB directional coupler. These state-of-the-art components are designed to meet the demanding requirements of broadband use in medium power X-Band (8-12GHz) commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) military and aerospace (Mil-Aero) applications.
The XMC0812F1-20G and XMC0812F1-03G couplers are high-performance directional and hybrid couplers designed for critical applications such as power and frequency detection, voltage standing wave ratio (“VSWR”) monitoring, and power splitting & combining. Both feature a peak to average ratio of 12dB, have a power rating of 50W average power (“AVG”), and are in an easy-to-use, ultra-small 5mm x 3.2mm, surface-mount package. The electroless nickel immersion gold (“ENIG”) finish ensures long-term reliability in harsh environments. These couplers have undergone rigorous qualification testing, adhering to the stringent standards of the Xinger® product line.
The XMC0812F1-20G and XMC0812F1-03G couplers are available for sampling now through ttm.com. They will be available for purchase later this summer.
The radio frequency and specialty components (“RF&S”) Business Unit (“BU”) of TTM designs, manufactures, and sells custom high-frequency solutions and Xinger® brand standard components for wireless infrastructure, defense electronics, and test and measurement electronics markets.
