Product Overview
The Mini-Circuits ZUDC familꢁ of wideband directional couplers offers exceptional performance spanning
frequencies from 2 to 18 GHz0 Available in models with 1±, 15, 2±, and 3± dꢀ coupling, these couplers
provide excellent coupling flatness, good directivitꢁ, and power handling up to 2±W0 Theꢁ are ideal for lab
testing applications as well as for power monitoring over wide bands, among other applications0
Key Features
Feature
Advantages
With a bandwidth spanning 2 to 18 GHz, ZUDC couplers are ideal for most lab testing
applications, avoiding the need to switch components for different frequencꢁ bands0
Wide bandwidth
Excellent Directivitꢁ
• 17 dꢀ tꢁp0 up to 18 GHz
High directivitꢁ allows sampling of input powers with minimal detrimental effects due to
output mismatches0
Excellent coupling flatness
• +±0. dꢀ tꢁp0 up to 18 GHz
Excellent coupling flatness over the entire frequencꢁ range eliminates the need for
compensation circuits in most cases0
Good Return Loss
• 15 dꢀ tꢁp0 up to 18 GHz
Good return loss over 2 to 18 GHz minimizes undesired reflections and resulting ampli-
tude ripple0
