CP20218A-10

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The CP20218A-10 is an RF directional coupler manufactured by Amtery Corporation, designed for general-purpose applications. It operates within a frequency range of 2 GHz to 18 GHz and provides a coupling factor of 10 dB. The component supports up to 20 W of power handling capacity. It utilizes SMA connectors for interface connections and is housed in a module encapsulation. The product status is listed as active.

RF Directional Couplers Feature Summary

• Standard RF directional coupler type with broadband operation from 2 GHz to 18 GHz
• Fixed 10 dB coupling factor suitable for signal monitoring tasks
• High power handling capability rated at 20 W
• Integrated SMA connector interfaces for direct system integration

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• General purpose RF signal monitoring
• Broadband communication systems requiring signal sampling
• Test and measurement equipment setups

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when sourcing, as manufacturer documentation may contain updated electrical specifications or mechanical drawings. Confirm that the SMA connector gender and mating requirements align with your system design before finalizing procurement. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified 20 W power limit to maintain component integrity and performance stability during deployment.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 10 dB coupling ratio is required across a wide bandwidth spanning 2 GHz to 18 GHz. The 20 W power rating makes it suitable for higher power transmission lines compared to lower-rated alternatives. Consider the SMA interface compatibility with existing board layouts. This model serves as a standard solution for general-purpose directional coupling needs without requiring custom tuning.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This part belongs to Amtery Corporation's line of RF passives and front-end components. It is part of a series of broadband directional couplers, sharing similar form factors with variants like the CP20218A-20 which offers different coupling ratios. The module packaging allows for straightforward integration into RF circuits where discrete component placement is preferred over surface-mount solutions.

RF Directional Couplers Replacement Considerations

The CP20218A-20 is a confirmed substitute offering identical frequency coverage but with a 20 dB coupling factor instead of 10 dB. Verify if the change in coupling ratio affects system signal levels. No other direct cross-model replacements are documented in available public data.
