MACP-011062

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The MACP-011062 is a surface mount directional coupler manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It operates within a frequency range of 5 MHz to 1225 MHz and provides a nominal coupling factor of 12.5 dB. The component utilizes a FR4 substrate with physical dimensions of 7.1 mm x 6.4 mm x 3.0 mm. Designed for board mounting, it serves as a signal conditioning element in RF circuits requiring precise power sampling across the specified broadband spectrum.

RF Directional Couplers Feature Summary

• Provides stable 12.5 dB coupling performance across a wide bandwidth from 5 MHz to 1225 MHz
• Utilizes a compact surface mount package designed for integration onto FR4 substrates
• Engineered for high-directivity signal sampling in bidirectional transmission environments

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• CATV network infrastructure
• Full Duplex communication systems
• DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem architectures

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application environment supports FR4 substrate characteristics, as the component design relies on this material property for optimal electromagnetic performance. Confirm that the operating frequency range aligns strictly with the 5 MHz to 1225 MHz specification to ensure accurate coupling ratios. Ensure PCB layout accommodates the 7.1 mm x 6.4 mm footprint without compromising adjacent signal integrity or thermal dissipation requirements during assembly.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 12.5 dB coupling ratio is required for monitoring signals in broadband RF paths. It is appropriate for designs utilizing standard FR4 laminates rather than specialized low-loss dielectrics. Consider the physical dimensions and surface mount configuration when determining placement density. This part is suitable for applications where consistent directional coupling is necessary for feedback or monitoring loops within the specified frequency limits.
