The LLC18-N-MF is a bidirectional coaxial coupler with Type N male input and Type N female output connectors, designed for high-power applications such as amplifier monitoring and load pull testing. It operates from 8.0 to 18.0 GHz with a maximum insertion loss of 0.25 dB, a directivity of 10 dB, and a power handling rating of 500 W CW / 2 kW peak. The coupler features low insertion loss, high directivity, and broadband performance, with no added dielectric material to minimize heating and drift. Its airtight airline construction supports high-power operation without performance degradation.
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.
