The LLC34-35-MM is a bidirectional airline coupler with Type N male input and output ports, designed for high-power applications such as amplifier power monitoring and load pull testing. It operates from 2.0 to 34.0 GHz with a maximum insertion loss of 0.35 dB at 34.0 GHz and a typical directivity of 10 dB above 26.5 GHz. The coupler handles 150 W CW and 500 W peak power, with a coupling value of 30 dB ±6 dB in the 2.0 to 3.0 GHz range. It features no added dielectric, minimizing insertion loss and heating in high-power environments. The unit is machined for precision and maintains performance without measurable degradation at rated power levels.
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.
