Pulsar Microwave C1-10-411 Directional Coupler Description

Functions

A directional coupler that enables RF signal sampling by extracting a portion of the main signal with minimal disruption to signal flow. It provides one-way coupling between a main transmission line and a secondary port, allowing precise power measurements, signal monitoring, and feedback control. The device maintains consistent coupling ratio across its operational frequency range while ensuring low insertion loss and high directional discrimination. It features multiple ports for signal input, output, coupled output, and isolation, designed to maintain characteristic impedance throughout the signal path to minimize reflections and standing waves.

Platforms

Broadband RF test and measurement systems, low power RF signal routing and monitoring setups, lab instrumentation for 1 MHz to 2 GHz frequency range; designed for integration within coaxial transmission lines using SMA connectors; supports signal coupling with 10 ±1 dB coupling factor, max 1 watt power handling; used in equipment for antenna feeding networks, receiver/transmitter signal sampling, system calibration, and RF component characterization; compact 1.25" cube outline enables embedded usage in bench-top analyzers, communication testbeds, and custom low-frequency microwave assemblies.

Accessories

A passive component featuring three SMA-Female coaxial connectors. The ports are J1 (Input), J2 (Output/Thru), and J3 (Coupled). Operation requires RF coaxial cables with mating SMA-Male connectors and a 50-ohm SMA-Male termination for any unused port to maintain proper impedance matching. This device is standalone and does not require a mainframe, backplane, or chassis.

Specifications

Directional coupler designed for RF signal sampling and monitoring over 1 MHz to 2 GHz frequency range; provides 10 dB coupling with ±1 dB variation and flatness, insertion loss up to 2.7 dB excluding coupling loss, directivity minimum 15 dB, and VSWR up to 1.70:1; supports input power up to 1 watt with SMA female connectors standard and optional BNC, TNC, F, or N connectors; compact size 1.25" x 1.25" x 0.75"; typical applications include broadband RF signal sampling, monitoring, and testing in communication systems and measurement setups.
