WHY CHOOSE THIS DIRECTIONAL COUPLER?

  • ✔ Multi-Band Coverage – Operates from 0.5 to 18GHz, eliminating the need for multiple narrowband couplers.
  • ✔ Test Without Disruption – 10dB coupling enables accurate signal sampling or injection with minimal impact on the main signal path.
  • ✔ Ideal for High-Power Setups – Handles up to 30W continuous and 3000W peak, supporting power amplifier and antenna testing.
  • ✔ Built-In DC Pass – Bias active components directly without external bias tees or injectors.
  • ✔ Rugged Construction – Nickel-plated stainless steel and MIL-STD-202F test compatibility for demanding environments.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Built for RF systems, this directional coupler operates across 0.5 to 18GHz with a 10dB coupling factor. It offers maximum insertion loss of 1.6dB, min directivity of 15dB, 1.10:1 typ, and 1.40:1 max to ensure efficient signal sampling and impedance matching. Capable of handling up to 30W CW max, 3000W peak max, it’s a reliable choice for demanding applications.
