Rev A  
Uneven Split Quadrature Coupler  
5dB, 90°  
Description:  
The X4C35K1-05S is a low profile, high performance uneven split  
quadrature 5dB coupler, with a power rating of 10 Watts (AVG) and  
a peak to average ratio of 12 dB; in a new easy to use, Xinger style  
manufacturing friendly surface mount package. The X4C35K1-05S  
is designed particularly for the LTE and 5G applications in all end  
markets including telecom and Mil-Aero. The X4C35K1-05S is  
particularly used as power splitting and combining, where tightly  
controlled coupling and low insertion loss is required.  
Parts have been subjected to rigorous Xinger qualification testing  
and they are manufactured using materials with coefficients of  
thermal expansion (CTE) compatible with common substrates such  
as FR4, G-10, RF-35, RO4003 and polyimide. Produced with 6 of 6  
RoHS compliant tin immersion finish.

Peak Power Handling  
High-Pot testing of these couplers during the qualification procedure resulted in a minimum breakdown voltage  
of 1.18Kv (minimum recorded value). This voltage level corresponds to a breakdown resistance capable of  
handling at least 12dB peak over average power levels, for very short durations. The breakdown location  
consistently occurred across the air interface at the coupler contact pads (see illustration below). The  
breakdown levels at these points will be affected by any contamination in the gap area around these pads.  
These areas must be kept clean for optimum performance. It is recommended that the user test for voltage  
breakdown under the maximum operating conditions and over worst case modulation induced power peaking.  
This evaluation should also include extreme environmental conditions (such as high humidity).

Insertion Loss and Power Derating Curves

Power Derating:  
The insertion loss, at a given frequency, of a group of
 
The power handling and corresponding power  
derating plots are a function of the thermal  
resistance, mounting surface temperature (base  
plate temperature), maximum continuous operating  
temperature of the coupler, and the thermal insertion  
loss. The
 
thermal insertion loss is defined in the  
Power Handling section of the data sheet.  
couplers is measured at 25
C and then averaged.  
The measurements are performed under small signal  
conditions (i.e. using a Vector Network Analyzer).  
The process is repeated at -55
C, 105
C and 150
C.  
A best-fit line for the measured data is computed and  
then plotted from -55
C to 150
C.  
As the mounting interface temperature approaches  
the maximum continuous operating temperature,  
the power handling decreases to zero.  
If mounting temperature is greater than 105°C, the  
Xinger coupler will perform reliably as long as the  
input power is derated to the curve above.
