Construction and Power Handling

PWR-LINE ™ dual directional couplers feature Stripline construction using multi-section designs. PCD couplers provide standard power sampling up to 2000 watts CW in small coaxial packages that have proven performance and reliability and can operate under extreme environmental conditions. To enhance power performance, matched high power terminations are internally mounted to obtain high directivity, excellent coupled port VSWR, and higher coupled port power capability during overload conditions, which minimizes damage or burn-out.

Military Specifications and Testing

PWR-LINE high-power dual directional couplers are designed and tested to meet applicable military requirements. Testing may include thermal shock, thermal cycling, temperature-altitude, and vibration.

The existing product documentation references ISO 9001, MIL-STD-201F, MIL-Q-9858A, and MIL-STD-45662.
