Space Directional Couplers
Narda-MITEQ develops high-performance, space-qualified directional couplers engineered to sample, monitor, and measure RF and microwave signals throughout demanding spaceborne applications. Designed to provide reliable signal coupling, excellent frequency flatness, and matched 50-ohm RF ports, our directional couplers support essential monitoring and measurement functions while maintaining signal integrity throughout the primary signal path. Featuring space heritage designs and compact configurations that minimize size and weight, our solutions address the specialized electrical performance and integration requirements of satellite payloads, spacecraft electronics, and advanced space communication systems.
Narda-MITEQ space-qualified directional couplers are designed for integration into mission-critical applications supporting satellite communications (SATCOM), aerospace, military and defense, and space exploration systems. Typical applications include RF power monitoring, built-in test (BIT), telemetry, and redundant signal-path verification, providing system designers with reliable methods for monitoring RF performance and verifying operational integrity. Our established space heritage designs and custom engineering capabilities allow us to address specialized electrical, mechanical, and application-specific requirements for demanding spaceflight missions, from satellite communication payloads to advanced military and defense space systems.
