Description
The CPL-WB-01C2 is a wide band directional
coupler designed to measure RF antenna output
power in GSM / TD-SCDMA applications. This
CPL has been customized for wide band
operating frequencies (EGSM and CELL, PCS,
DCS, TD-SCDMA) with less than 0.2 dB insertion
losses in the transmit bandwidth (824 MHz to
2025 MHz).
The CPL-WB-01C2 has been designed using
STMicroelectronics IPD (integrated passive
device) technology on non conductive glass
substrate to optimize RF performance. The device
is delivered 100% tested in tape and reel.
