FPC06154

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The FPC06154 is a directional coupler manufactured by Knowles Dielectric Labs, designed for signal conditioning applications in the 12.0 to 18.0 GHz frequency range. This component provides a coupling factor of 20dB and utilizes wirebond technology for interconnection. It is classified under RF directional couplers and supports surface mount or board-level integration within microwave systems.

RF Directional Couplers Feature Summary

• Operates within the 12.0 to 18.0 GHz frequency band
• Provides a fixed 20dB coupling factor
• Utilizes wirebond interface technology

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• Microwave signal monitoring
• RF test and measurement equipment
• Wireless communication systems

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and mechanical dimensions prior to procurement, as manufacturer specifications may be subject to change. Confirm compatibility with existing PCB layouts and wirebonding processes. Ensure that the selected evaluation boards, such as the DEB-L065XG9S series if applicable to the broader family, meet system requirements. Cross-reference part numbers with official distributor catalogs to confirm current availability and lead times.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component for high-frequency applications requiring precise signal sampling in the Ku-band range. The 20dB coupling factor makes it suitable for low-power signal extraction without significantly impacting the main transmission line. Consider the wirebond interface when designing the substrate and assembly process. Evaluate thermal management and impedance matching characteristics against system specifications.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This part belongs to the Knowles Dielectric Labs signal conditioning portfolio, specifically focusing on passive RF components. It complements other microwave filters and couplers offered by the manufacturer. The product is distinct from their capacitor lines, such as the MWR series, and serves specialized RF infrastructure needs rather than general power supply filtering.
