4014C-10

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The L3 Narda-MITEQ 4014C-10 is a miniature stripline coaxial directional coupler designed for RF applications. It operates within a frequency range of 4000 MHz to 8000 MHz and provides a nominal coupling factor of 10 dB with a tolerance of ±1.25 dB. The device features a directivity of 20 dB, an insertion loss of 0.25 dB maximum, and a VSWR of 1.25 maximum on both ports. It supports a maximum input power of 5 watts and has a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms.

RF Directional Couplers Feature Summary

• Miniature stripline construction for compact integration
• Coaxial interface design for seamless system connection
• High directivity performance for accurate signal sampling

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• RF signal monitoring in microwave systems
• Power measurement setups requiring low loading
• Feedback control loops in transmitter chains

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number against official L3 Narda-MITEQ documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the specific suffix or revision matches the required electrical specifications. Request datasheets directly from authorized distributors to validate performance parameters before procurement.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10 dB coupling factor is required within the 4-8 GHz band. Consider the 5W power rating and 50-ohm impedance compatibility with existing transmission lines. Evaluate space constraints as the unit utilizes a miniature form factor suitable for dense assemblies.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This model belongs to the 4014C series of SMA miniature stripline coaxial directional couplers manufactured by L3 Narda-MITEQ. The series offers various coupling values, such as the 4014C-20 which provides 20 dB coupling. These components are engineered for broadband RF applications requiring precise signal directionality.

RF Directional Couplers Replacement Considerations

The 4014C-20 is a related model offering 20 dB coupling instead of 10 dB. Verify if the weaker sampled signal and reduced main line loading of the 20 dB variant suit the application requirements compared to the standard 10 dB configuration.
