TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION / APPLICATION
®
MULTI-MIX DIRECTIONAL COUPLERS
The Multi-Mix® CSD series provides directional couplers with low insertion loss, low VSWR, and high directivity.
Precise coupling and frequency sensitivity make them ideal for applications power amplifiers, signal
distribution and processing.
CSD directional couplers are fusion bonded multilayer stripline assemblies. The fusion bonding process
yields a homogeneous monolithic dielectric structure with reliability, ruggedness, and electrical performance
that is superior to conventional adhesive bonding techniques.
The CSD series is an easy to install SMD designed specifically for the full spectrum of wireless applications.
The high stability ceramic filled PTFE dielectrics utilized in these components are compatible with common
substrates such as FR-4, G-10, and polyamide. The wrap around ground plane provides excellent EM
shielding.
Additional benefits include:

THE MULTI-MIX PROCESS
Multi-Mix® is a manufacturing process based on fluoropolymer composite substrates that are fusion bonded
together into a multilayer structure. The fusion bonding process yields a homogeneous monolithic structure
with superior performance at microwave and millimeter wave frequencies. The bonded multilayers can
contain embedded semiconductors, MMICs, etched resistors, circuit patterns, and plated-through vias to
form a SMD module that requires no additional packaging and is ready for pick and place.
