Directional Couplers

At MDL, directional couplers have always received the engineering and manufacturing attention due a major component. A wide variety of types are offered, often tailored to specific applications. Included in the MDL line are cross-guide couplers with a coupling aperture design that is exclusive with MDL – broadwall, sidewall and branchguide couplers that were designed using our own computer program – waveguide loop couplers – a line of high directivity couplers featuring a minimum directivity of 45 dB over a full waveguide frequency band – and, the most recent addition, ridged waveguide couplers. Our experienced design group is also prepared to modify one of our standard models or design an entirely new coupler for your special applications.
