The Overview

Werbel Microwave’s C-0208-20 is a 20-dB directional coupler that operates over a frequency range of 2 to 8 GHz while presenting an impedance of 50 Ω.

Who Needs It & Why?

Directional couplers are important components for use in isolating, separating, replicating, and combining microwave signals. They can serve as accurate attenuator measurements as they eliminate reflections. They are incredibly useful in sampling RF signals for use in detectors, gain control, and feedback loops.
