Device Overview

General Description

The CBR16-0012 offers the broadest bandwidth of any standalone 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 CBR16-0012 an excellent ‘black box’ coupler for everyday lab use.
