Dual Directional Coupler

100 Watts CW

10kHz-1000MHz

The Model DC3010A is a high power, ultra-broadband dual directional coupler with excellent performance
characteristics over a range of more than 14 octaves. This dual directional coupler is a convenient means of
simultaneously monitoring forward and reflected power in RF power systems using normal laboratory oscilloscopes,
voltmeters, power meters and spectrum analyzers. The Model DC3010A is particularly recommended for use with
our "A" and "W" series amplifiers, and other amplifiers operating within the frequency and power range.
