High Power Single
and Dual Directional
Couplers
RLC Electronics’ high power directional couplers
offer accurate coupling, low insertion loss and high
directivity in a compact package. The standard units
are optimized for 2 octave bandwidths and are
available with a choice of coupling values. These units
are ideal for sampling forward and reflected power
with a negligible effect on the transmission line and
very low intermodulation products.
