Product Overview

This comprehensive microwave components kit is designed for precise RF signal manipulation and analysis in experimental setups. The Magic T enables power splitting and combining with minimal insertion loss, while the directional coupler provides controlled signal sampling for measurement or monitoring. The isolator ensures unidirectional signal flow, preventing back reflections that could distort results, and the circulator facilitates multi-port signal routing with high isolation between ports. Each component is crafted from high-grade brass or waveguide-compatible metal, ensuring durability and consistent performance across a broad frequency range. The lab-grade construction minimizes signal attenuation and phase distortion, making this kit ideal for applications requiring accurate wave propagation, impedance matching, and signal isolation. Whether used for testing, calibration, or educational demonstrations, these components deliver reliable performance in microwave and RF engineering experiments.

FAQs

1. What frequency range does this microwave components kit support?

The kit is optimized for standard microwave bands, typically covering 1–18 GHz, depending on the specific waveguide dimensions and design. For exact frequency compatibility, refer to the waveguide size used in your setup.

2. Can these components be used with standard SMA or N-type connectors?

These are waveguide-based components and require flange-mounted connections. For coaxial compatibility, you’ll need waveguide-to-coaxial adapters (e.g., WR-90 to SMA) sold separately.

3. How do I verify the isolation performance of the circulator or isolator?

Use a network analyzer to measure S-parameters (S21 for forward transmission, S12 for reverse isolation). A well-functioning isolator should show high reverse isolation (typically >20 dB) and low insertion loss in the forward direction.

4. Are these components compatible with automated test equipment (ATE) systems?

Yes, but ensure your ATE system supports waveguide interfaces. You may need custom mounting brackets or adapters for seamless integration with automated setups.

5. What’s the typical insertion loss for the Magic T and directional coupler?

The Magic T generally exhibits insertion loss under 0.5 dB, while the directional coupler’s loss depends on coupling factor (e.g., 10 dB coupler may have ~1 dB insertion loss). Exact values vary by frequency and build quality.
