3002-20

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The L3 Narda-MITEQ 3002-20 is a coaxial directional coupler designed for the 950 MHz to 2 GHz frequency range. It provides a nominal coupling of 20 dB with a maximum variation of ±1.2 dB. The component features a directivity of 30 dB and supports an average power handling capacity of 500 W, with a peak power rating of 10 kW. It utilizes Type N-Female connectors for interface compatibility.

RF Directional Couplers Feature Summary

• Enables accurate VSWR measurements by isolating energy traveling in one direction
• Eliminates mechanical motion requirements associated with traditional measurement methods

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• Automatic VSWR measurement systems
• RF signal monitoring in microwave circuits
• Directional energy sampling in transmission lines

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as sources list both Narda-MITEQ and MITEQ. Confirm connector type is Type N-Female and check RoHS compliance status. Ensure the frequency range matches the 950 MHz to 2 GHz requirement. Validate power ratings against application needs.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring 20 dB coupling within the UHF to lower SHF bands. Consider the 500 W average power limit for high-power transmission scenarios. Verify that the 30 dB directivity meets system accuracy requirements. Ensure interface compatibility with existing Type N-Female infrastructure.
