Overview
- Wideband, 18 to 26.5 GHz
- Excellent Coupling Flatness, ±0.3 dB typ.
- Power Handling up to 20W
Key Features - Wide bandwidth..... With a bandwidth spanning 18 to 26.5 GHz, ZCDC30-18263-S+ coupler is ideal for most lab testing applications, avoiding the need to switch components for different frequency bands.
- Excellent Directivity.....(17 dB typ. up to 26.5 GHz) High directivity allows sampling of input powers with minimal detrimental effects due to output mismatches.
- Excellent coupling flatness, ±0.3 dB typ.....Excellent coupling flatness over the entire frequency range minimizes the need for compensation circuits in most cases.
- Good Return Loss (In & Out).....( 17 dB typ. up to 26.5 GHz) Good return loss over 18 to 26.5 GHz minimizes undesired reflections and resulting amplitude ripple.
