Waveguide Loop Coupler

A Waveguide Loop Coupler is a passive microwave device designed to sample signal power within a waveguide without significantly disturbing the main signal. It’s known for its precision in power sampling, minimal insertion loss, and is widely utilized in microwave systems for monitoring, measuring, and feedback purposes across a variety of applications including telecommunications, radar, and testing equipment.

Configuration & construction

Specify the Coupler That Fits Your Line

Published directionality, waveguide, coaxial output, flange and finish options are retained below without treating optional configurations as standard for every model.

01 / Direction

Single or dual sampling

WHC identifies a uni-directional loop coupler; WDHC identifies a bi-directional loop coupler. Confirm required forward/reverse orientation in the order.

02 / Coupling

Selectable coupling level

The web-page model table specifies 20–60 dB. The product-family overview states coupling up to 60 dB.

03 / Interface

Flange & coaxial output

Model rows show N-Female output and cover/grooved flange codes. The family overview also lists choke flanges; confirm model-specific compatibility.

04 / Material

Aluminum or copper

Aluminum (Al) is specified for every published table row. Copper (Cu) appears as a product-family/material option available on request.

Directivity discrepancy in the original page: the family-level Key Features / Product Specifications Example state 20–25 dB, while every model row in this table states 12–15 dB. Both original values are preserved; request a model-specific datasheet or confirmed quotation before using either value as a design requirement.

Model-data transcription: the WR187 / DH-48WHC… and DH-48WDHC… grooved-flange code is published as PDR348 (not silently changed to PDR48). Verify that code against the mating flange before ordering.

Technical file labels: the source table shows “PDF” and “STEP” for each model, but their individual destination URLs could not be verified. Labels remain visible instead of being linked to an unrelated file; the verified range brochure appears below.

Customization & technical review

Define Your Required Configuration

Standard and customized configurations are available on request. Send the intended operating conditions to confirm the exact model, flange interface, coupling performance and finish before ordering.

  • Selected model or waveguide size, plus minimum and maximum operating frequency
  • Required coupling (dB), forward/reverse directionality and directivity
  • Coaxial output type and gender; cover/grooved/choke flange and mating flange code
  • Material (Al/Cu), finish and any mechanical drawing or fit constraints
  • Main-line power and duty conditions for engineering review; no power rating is specified in the page model table

Manufacturer’s original range brochure: a separate catalog document; its model coverage and some listed performance figures differ from the web-page table. Use the model-specific approved document for procurement.
