Product Overview
Mini-Circuits DDCH-50-521+ high-power dual-directional coupler provides high power handling up to 300W
and insertion loss of 0.07 dB Typ with 50 dB coupling. Covering frequencies from 20 to 520 MHz, it supports a
wide variety of applications from military to commercial, including GSM transmitters and more.
High directivity of 21 dB provides accurate sampling from the coupled port, and typical input/output return loss
of 35 dB provides excellent matching over full frequency range. The coupler is designed into an open printed
laminate (1.0 x 1.5 x 0.128”) with wrap-around terminations for good solderability and easy visual inspection.
Key Features
Advantages
Feature
Used primarily in high power transmission applications, the excellent
through-path signal loss maximizes the power transmitted to the
antenna.
Low mainline loss, 0.07 dB typ.
Usable in many systems with high-power requirements such as
antenna feeds, power amplifiers, and others that require sampling a
high power RF signal.
High power handling, up to 300W
Excellent return loss, 35 dB typ.
(input and output)
Provides excellent matching for 50Ω systems.
High directivity with 50 dB coupling allows accurate signal sampling
through the coupled port with minimal measurement error.
High directivity, 21 dB typ
Suitable for use in systems requiring DC voltage on the RF line, such
as supplying bias to antenna circuitry via the antenna cable.
DC current passing up to 4 A
