CH-132-N

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The CH-132-N is a bi-directional RF directional coupler manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It operates within a frequency range of 1 MHz to 1 GHz, providing a nominal coupling factor of 20 dB. The component ensures a minimum directivity of 25 dB, enabling accurate power measurement in both forward and reverse directions. Designed for general-purpose applications, it supports signal conditioning tasks requiring reliable isolation between coupled ports.

RF Directional Couplers Feature Summary

• Bi-directional coupling capability for simultaneous forward and reverse power monitoring
• Broad operational bandwidth spanning from 1 MHz to 1 GHz
• Maintains high directivity to ensure accurate signal separation

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• RF signal conditioning systems
• Bidirectional power monitoring setups
• General-purpose microwave testing equipment

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' against the official MACOM datasheet to confirm package type and termination style. Ensure the required frequency range aligns with the 1 MHz to 1 GHz specification. Check for RoHS compliance status in the latest product documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when bidirectional power measurement is required across a wide low-frequency RF spectrum. The 20 dB coupling factor suits applications needing moderate signal sampling without significant insertion loss. Verify that the 25 dB minimum directivity meets the system's accuracy requirements for reflected power analysis.
