High Frequency High
Power Directional
Couplers
RLC Electronics’ high frequency high power
directional couplers offer accurate coupling, low
insertion loss and high directivity in a compact
package. The standard units are optimized for
four different frequency ranges and are available
with a choice of coupling values. These units are
ideal for sampling or injecting signals with a
negligible effect on the transmission line. They
can be easily modified for different coupling
responses or frequency ranges.
