    This document outlines a procedure to measure the coupling factor, directivity, and scattering parameters of a waveguide directional coupler. The required equipment is listed, including a Gunn oscillator, power supply, isolator, attenuator, frequency meter, VSWR meter, detector, and directional coupler. The procedure involves setting up the equipment, measuring power levels at the coupler ports in different termination configurations to determine the coupling factor and directivity, and using a standing wave detector to measure the VSWR at each port. Observations of the power measurements would then be recorded in a table.

    Exp.: Measurement on directional couplers.

    Aim: To measure coupling factor and directly of a waveguide directional coupler and to determine
    scattering parameters.

    Equipments Required:
    • Gunn Oscillator.

    • Gunn Power Supply.

    • Isolator.

    • Var Attenuator

    • Frequency Meter.

    • VSWR Meter or CRO.

    • Detector

    • Directional Coupler.

    • Terminatin – 2 nos.
    Procedure:

    1. Arrange the experimental setup and switch on the GUNN Power Supply and tune
    Gunn Oscillator until you get a closer square pulse in the range of the min 100 kilovolts
    signal.

    2. Fix the directional coupler in the power input at port 1 and arrange detector in
    port 2.Set the variable attenuator to get the full scale reading on the VSWR meter on 30
    or 40 db scale. Note the reading.

    3. Terminate the directional coupler in a matched load in port 2and arrange the
    detector unit on the auxiliary arm. Since the output of the main arm is terminated, there
    will be no reflection. The power going from the auxiliary arm can be measured by the
    meter and the difference of the reading of the main and auxiliary arm in db gives the
    value of the coupling factor in db. Don’t change the setting of the variable attenuator.
    4. For directive measurement, note down the reading of the meter in the above
    setting with detector in the auxiliary arm reverse the direction of the power flow in the
    directional coupler. The difference of the two readings will give the directive of the
    directional coupler in db i.e. difference in level between port 3 and port 4, while either
    of them are terminated.

    5. Determine the VSWR of the coupler at port 1, port 2, port 3 and port 4, with the
    help of the standing wave detector.
