CP20208A-10

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The CP20208A-10 is a bi-directional RF directional coupler manufactured by Amtery Corporation. It operates within a frequency range of 2 GHz to 8 GHz and provides a nominal coupling factor of 10 dB, with a specified range of 9 to 11.3 dB. The component supports an average power handling capacity of 20 W. Insertion loss is maintained between 0.9 and 1.1 dB across the operational band. The device utilizes SMA connectors for interface connectivity.

RF Directional Couplers Feature Summary

• Bi-directional signal monitoring capability
• Broadband operation from 2 GHz to 8 GHz
• SMA connector interface

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• RF signal monitoring in communication systems
• Power measurement in microwave circuits
• Signal sampling for test and measurement equipment

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version provided by Amtery Corporation or authorized distributors to confirm exact electrical tolerances and mechanical dimensions. Ensure that the SMA connector type matches system requirements. Confirm that the 20 W average power rating aligns with the intended application's thermal and power constraints before finalizing procurement.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when broadband coverage from 2 GHz to 8 GHz is required alongside a 10 dB coupling factor. Consider the 20 W average power limit and insertion loss specifications relative to system sensitivity. Verify compatibility with existing SMA-based infrastructure and ensure the bi-directional nature meets the specific signal monitoring architecture needs.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This part belongs to Amtery Corporation's series of broadband bi-directional couplers. Similar models include the CP20208A-6, which offers 6 dB coupling over the same frequency range, and the CP20408A-10, which covers 4 GHz to 8 GHz. These components are designed for general-purpose RF applications requiring precise signal sampling and directionality.

RF Directional Couplers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 10 dB bi-directional couplers from Amtery covering the 2-8 GHz range, such as variants with different power ratings. Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the 2-8 GHz frequency span, 10 dB coupling, SMA interface, and 20 W power handling capabilities.
