Model C10117 is a dual directional coupler capable of handling 250 W CW input power from 0.7 to 6.0 GHz. Insertion loss is negligible, at 0.2 dB across the full bandwidth, with impressive coupling of ±1.0 dB or better. The coupler exhibits at least 15-dB directivity (typically 20 dB), maintaining high directivity under all load (mismatch) conditions. The typical VSWR is 1.30:1. Well-suited for accurately measuring forward and reverse power levels, the compact directional coupler measures just 2.00 × 2.00 × 1.06 in. and is available with numerous coaxial connectors, including Type N, BNC, and SMA connectors.
