Impressive performance includes 0.04 dB typ insertion loss, 100 dB typ Isolation, 1.06:1 typ VSWR, and an operating life

of 250K cycles minimum. The design operates across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, requires +28Vdc nominal

bias voltage, and has an input power rating of up to 3.5 KW CW maximum. The waveguide ports have Grooved Square

Cover Flanges (O-Rings included) for pressurized operation. The rugged package design is fully weatherized for up to 100%

humitidy exposure and supports a quick connect circular 6 pin MIL-SPEC DC bias connector with mate included.
