The Model DC6180A is a dual directional coupler with excellent frequency range and power handling capability. The wide range assures flexibility in coupling medium power amplifiers to oscilloscopes, voltmeters, power meters, spectrum analyzers and other measuring instruments. The dual directional design allows the user to monitor both forward and reflected power, a much needed characteristic in RF susceptibility testing for amplifier overdrive protection, field control and load protection. Low insertion loss allows efficient coupling to the load while the coupling factor is well matched to the typical laboratory equipment. The Model DC6180A is recommended for use with our high power W Series Amplifiers
