High Frequency High Power Directional Couplers
RLC Electronics’ high frequency high power directional couplers offer accurate coupling, low insertion loss and high directivity in a compact package. The standard units are optimized for four different frequency ranges and are available with a choice of coupling values. These units are ideal for sampling or injecting signals with a negligible effect on the transmission line. They can be easily modified for different coupling responses or frequency ranges.
