The LLC40-292-MM is a bidirectional airline coupler with 2.92mm male connectors, designed for high-power applications including load pull and amplifier monitoring. It operates from 3.0 to 40.0 GHz with a maximum insertion loss of 0.2 dB above 10.0 GHz and a directivity of 35 dB ±5 dB. The coupler handles 10 W CW and 100 W peak power. It features no added dielectric, contributing to low insertion loss and minimal heating, and maintains excellent VSWR and broadband performance. Its high directivity enables accurate measurements in calibrated systems.
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.
