KRYTAR, Inc. announces a new family of monopulse comparators offering beamforming solutions with coverage of multiple microwave bands, from 0.5 to 40 GHz. A KRYTAR 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. Offering coverage of multiple microwave bands, from 0.5 to 40 GHz (L- to Ka-Bands), KRYTAR's monopulse comparators have the advantage over other methods of angular beamforming with excellent functionality and simplicity of use.

Properties that are important to beamforming include bandwidth, phase and amplitude imbalance, high isolation, low insertion loss and VSWR, superior electrical performance and rugged designs. This new family of 10 models of monopulse comparators use KRYTAR’s high performance 180-degree hybrid couplers providing superior phase accuracy, amplitude imbalance, stability and repeatability all within a single compact package with coaxial connectors.

KRYTAR offers complete engineering services for custom designs that meet or exceed critical performance and/or packaging including custom frequency options.
