The CC-xx series of Directional Coupler is a tapered stripline design covering from 575 to 2,700 MHz. The units couple off a defined fraction of signal with high directivity and minimal loss. Availability in a wide range of coupling values makes this series useful in optimizing the signal distribution required in a passive distributor radio access network(D-RAN). The extremely wide frequency range enables applications with multiband antennas, leaky cable systems, and wireless base stations. With minimal solder joints and a low loss dielectric, the dissipative loss has been minimized and reliability enhanced
