Device Overview

General Description

The CE10-0R640 is a next generation broadband 600MHz to 40GHz, 10dB directional coupler from the Marki Elite Series. Conductive paint is applied to all Elite Series products to reduce EMI/RFI leakage and susceptibility. The CE10-0R640 offers the best directivity, return loss, and coupling accuracy available on the market. Available as both a three port directional coupler and a four port bidirectional coupler, the CE10-0R640 is an exceptional choice for broadband return loss measurements, power leveling, and signal monitoring applications. Sophisticated neural network design techniques combined with deep circuit knowledge and triplate stripline construction allow the Marki Elite Series of Couplers to provide superior performance to all other directional couplers available.

[1] Amplitude Flatness = Median value of ABS(Measured Coupling Power – Average Coupling Factor).

[2] Coupling loss based on average coupling factor.

[3] Excess Insertion Loss = (Input Port to Output Port Insertion Loss) – Coupling Loss.

[4] IL Corrected Directivity = Directivity + Insertion Loss.
