MODEL DC3010A
MODEL DC3010
M1, M2
DUAL DIRECTIONAL COUPLER
50 WATTS CW
10kHz - 1000MHz
The Model DC3010A 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
DC3010A is particularly recommended for use with our "A" and "W" Series amplifiers, and other
amplifiers operating within the frequency and power range.
