Device Overview

General Description

The CBR16-0003 offers the highest directivity of any standalone 3 GHz bridge coupler on the market. It provides an extremely high degree of measurement accuracy for forward power measurements, and can also be used to measure VSWR/return loss (see Directivity and VSWR Measurement App Note). The flat coupling ratio, high directivity, and broadband performance to 200 kHz make the CBR16-0003 an excellent ‘black box’ coupler for everyday lab use.
