Bi-directional coupler delivered in surface mount package
A new bi-directional surface-mount coupler from Innovative Power Products is in stock at Richardson RFPD along with full design support. The IPP-8036 is one of the featured surface-mount products from IPP’s full line of dual directional couplers. It is a 300W, 50dB dual directional coupler that operates from 20MHz to 1000MHz.
IPP has leveraged softboard laminate technology and embedded internal terminations in order to offer the IPP-8036 in a surface mount package, instead of aluminum housing with connectors, which saves system size and cost by bringing the coupler inside the power amplifier.
The device also features an innovative broadband design that provides separate coupled ports for both forward and reflected signals.
According to Innovative Power Products, additional key features of the IPP-8036 include Insertion loss at < 0.29 dB, main line VSWR at 1.25:1, 50dB coupling.
The devices comes in a 1.5 x 1.0-inch surface mount (SMD) package.
