Wide bandwidth
Advantages
With a bandwidth spanning 1 to 26.5 GHz, ZCDC30-01263-S+ coupler is ideal for most
lab testing applications, avoiding the need to switch components for different frequency
bands.
High directivity allows sampling of input powers with minimal detrimental effects due to
output mismatches.
Excellent Directivity
• 21 dB typ. up to 26.5 GHz
Excellent coupling flatness, ±0.4 dB typ
Excellent coupling flatness over the entire frequency range minimizes the need for
compensation circuits in most cases.
Good Return Loss (In & Out)
• 20 dB typ. up to 26.5 GHz
Good return loss over 1 to 26.5 GHz minimizes undesired reflections and resulting
amplitude ripple.
