Device Overview

General Description

The PT-0020 is a DC to 20 GHz pick off tee. A pick off tee is a resistive circuit that provides non-directional coupling of microwave signals. In an extremely well-matched system, the PT-0020 can provide extremely broadband signal monitoring in a very small package. Due to reflections, a directional coupler is typically preferred over a pick off tee for most applications.
