The LLC18-7 is a bidirectional coaxial coupler designed for high-power applications such as amplifier monitoring and load pull testing. It features a 7mm input and output port with a frequency range of 0.6 to 8.0 GHz, a maximum insertion loss of 0.15 dB at 8.0 GHz, a coupling of 15 dB, and a directivity of 30 dB. It supports 500 W CW and 2 kW peak power handling. The coupler has excellent VSWR and broadband performance with no added dielectric to minimize loss and heating.
The LLC-series of bidirectional airline couplers represents a breakthrough in high-power coupler technology. Combining precision machining with stellar electrical characteristics, LLC-series couplers offer unmatched performance offering high directivity and low insertion loss for broadband performance.
The LLC-series’ high directivity is important as poor directivity can invalidate calibration and result in erroneous measurements. Its low insertion loss is critical for high-power applications in order to avoid power loss and eliminate drift due to heating. When used as part of a vector-receiver load pull setup this directly maximizes tuning range when combined with an impedance tuner.
