The LLC110WR10 is a bidirectional waveguide coupler with an integrated downconverter, designed for load pull applications in the 75 to 110 GHz band. It features WR10 waveguide input and output ports, a 3.5mm female connector for the downconverter output, 0.8 dB maximum insertion loss, 30 dB directivity, and a power handling rating of 2 W CW. The integrated downconverter enables direct connection to sub-26.5 GHz vector network analyzer receivers, eliminating the need for external frequency extenders. A 5 A micrometer is included to reduce the coupling factor of 30 dB. The device operates within full waveguide bands and maintains high directivity and low insertion loss to preserve tuning range and measurement accuracy at the device under test reference plane.
The LLC-series of bidirectional airline couplers represents a breakthrough in high-power coupler technology. Combining precision machining with stellar electrical characteristics, LLC-series couplers offer unmatched performance offering high directivity and low insertion loss for broadband performance.
The LLC-series’ high directivity is important as poor directivity can invalidate calibration and result in erroneous measurements. Its low insertion loss is critical for high-power applications in order to avoid power loss and eliminate drift due to heating. When used as part of a vector-receiver load pull setup this directly maximizes tuning range when combined with an impedance tuner.
