MODEL DC3001A
MODEL DC3001,M1, M2, M3, M4
DUAL DIRECTIONAL COUPLER
50 WATTS CW
100kHz - 1000MHz
The Model DC3001A is a high power ultra-broadband dual directional coupler with excellent
performance characteristics over a range of more than 14 octaves. This dual directional coupler is a
convenient means of simultaneously monitoring forward and reflected power in RF power systems
using normal laboratory oscilloscopes, voltmeters, power meters and spectrum analyzers. The Model
DC3001A is particularly recommended for use with our 10W power "W" Series amplifiers.
