3001-30

Overview

The L3 Narda-MITEQ 3001-30 is an airline coupler assembly designed for general-purpose radio frequency applications. It operates within a frequency range of 2 GHz to 18 GHz, providing a nominal coupling factor of 30 dB. The component utilizes standard SMA connectors and is constructed as a robust module suitable for integration into RF test setups and measurement systems requiring precise signal sampling.

Feature Summary

• Provides consistent 30 dB coupling across the operational bandwidth
• Utilizes standard SMA interface connectors for broad compatibility
• Constructed as a durable airline coupler assembly

Applications

• General purpose RF signal monitoring
• Test and measurement equipment signal sampling
• RF system power level verification

Procurement Notes

Verify connector gender and mating compatibility with existing SMA interfaces before integration. Confirm that the 30 dB coupling value aligns with the specific attenuation requirements of the target application circuit. Ensure environmental conditions remain within the specified operating limits for optimal performance stability.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 30 dB coupling ratio is required for signal extraction in the 2 to 18 GHz range. Consider the physical dimensions and mounting requirements of the airline assembly format. Evaluate insertion loss specifications if signal integrity preservation is critical for the downstream components in the chain.

Part Context

This component belongs to the 3001 series of airline couplers manufactured by L3 Narda-MITEQ. The series offers various coupling factors tailored for different RF measurement needs. The 3001-30 specifically addresses applications requiring higher attenuation levels for safe signal sampling or power reduction in high-frequency environments.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 30 dB couplers from the same manufacturer series. Verify mechanical footprint and connector type compatibility when substituting with alternative part numbers.
