Overview

The Amplifier Research DC7280A is a dual directional coupler with excellent frequency range and power handling capability. The wide range assures flexibility in coupling medium power amplifiers to oscilloscopes, voltmeters, power meters, spectrum analyzers, and other measuring instruments. The dual directional design allows the user to monitor both forward and reflected power, a much needed characteristic in RF susceptibility testing for amplifier overdrive protection, field control, and load protection. Low insertion loss allows efficient coupling to the load. The Model DC7280A is intended for use with the 200T2G8, 2000TP2G8, and other microwave TWT amplifiers operating within the frequency and power range.

The Amplifier Research DC7280A Dual Directional Coupler is in stock and available for same-day shipping on rentals. The EMC Shop is an ISO 17025 accredited calibration lab. Calibrations are available upon request (allow 1-2 additional days).
