KRYTAR

KRYTAR was founded in 1975 by Thomas J. Russell.  Located in Sunnyvale, California, KRYTAR is a privately owned California corporation specializing in the manufacture of ultra broadband microwave components and test equipment for both commercial and military applications. The KRYTAR product line includes directional couplers, directional detectors, 3 dB hybrid couplers, power dividers, detectors, terminations, coaxial adapters and Butler matrices. Our products cover the DC to 110 GHz frequency range.

Couplers

Couplers

KRYTAR Couplers are built for high performance environments, where electrical specifications and mechanical quality are critical.  Customers in communications, wireless, aerospace and defense enjoy tight electrical specifications and high reliability.

Hybrid Couplers

Hybrid Couplers

KRYTAR has developed a line of 3 dB Hybrids Couplers featuring broad bandwidths together with tight amplitude imbalances and phase imbalance specifications. Hybrid couplers perform many functions include signal splitters, combiners, balanced mixers, image-rejection mixers, phase shifters, diplexers, switches and antenna beam-forming networks used in a wide range of commercial and military applications.

KRYTAR’s Hybrid Couplers offer wide frequency coverage in single, compact packages which provide low insertion loss, high directivity and tight coupling.

Power Dividers

Power Dividers

KRYTAR’s power dividers are used to perform many functions, including splitting and combining signals in amplifiers, switching circuits, and antenna beam-forming networks used in a wide range of commercial and military applications where power or frequency needs to be monitored, leveled, alarmed or controlled.

Microwave Detectors

Microwave Detectors

KRYTAR detectors are specifically designed for use in today’s high-performance microwave instrumentation and systems. KRYTAR family of detectors are designed for such applications as power measurements, analyzing radar performance, leveling pulsed signal sources, AM noise measurements, system monitoring and pulsed RF measurements in ultra-broadband and mm-Wave applications. Many connector options are available.

Bias Tees

Bias Tees

KRYTAR has developed a line of Bias Tees offering ultra-broadband control solutions with coverage of multiple microwave bands, from 0.5 to 40 GHz. KRYTAR Bias Tees are the ideal choice for powering remote control of pre-amplifiers or low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) in antennas, controlling remote DC signals and testing of many RF applications. The unique rugged stripline design provides high current handling with high power at frequency and excellent isolation.

Butler Matrix

Butler Matrix

The NEW KRYTAR 4×4 Butler Matrix family uses KRYTAR’s high-performance 90- and 180-degree Hybrid Couplers providing super phase accuracy, amplitude imbalance, stability and repeatability. Offering coverage of multiple microwave bands, from 0.5 to 40 GHz, a KRYTAR Butler Matrix is the ideal choice for
antenna array beamforming, 5G NR (New Radio) testing, mmWave testing, MIMO testing, multipath simulation and performance evaluation, and many other applications.

Monopulse Comparators

Monopulse Comparators

KRYTAR Monopulse Comparators use KRYTAR’s high-performance 180-degree Hybrid Couplers providing super phase accuracy, amplitude imbalance, stability and repeatability all within a single compact package. KRYTAR’s technological advances provide excellent operating performance with this new family of Monopulse Comparators.

A Monopulse Comparator is a beamforming network used to feed a phased array of antenna elements. Its purpose is to control the direction of a beam, or beams, of radio transmission. KRYTAR Monopulse Comparators are the ideal choice for antenna array beamforming, high speed radar searching and tracking, multipath simulation and performance evaluation, and many other applications.

Coaxial Limiters

Coaxial Limiters

KRYTAR has developed a line of broadband coaxial limiters for applications from 0.5 to 18 GHz. The two families of KRYTAR limiters include the Broadband PIN-Schottky Diode Limiters and Broadband PIN-PIN Diode Limiters. These PIN (positive-intrinsic-negative) diode designs exhibit very low insertion loss at a maximum of 2.5 dB and are cylindrical coaxial packages available with SMA female output and SMA male input connectors. 

Coaxial Adapters

Coaxial Adapters

KRYTAR designs and manufactures extremely rugged RF/Microwave coaxial adapters that find uses in a wide array of wireless communications applications, test equipment, and antenna devices for both commercial and military markets.

Coaxial Termination

Coaxial Termination

KRYTAR offers a wide selection of extremely rugged, 50 Ohm mechanical Coaxial Terminations. Coaxial Terminations are useful when terminating unused ports, on isolated ports of hybrids and combiners, and to protect devices from signal reflections.
