High Power BDCN-20-13+ Bi-Directional Coupler 50 20 dB Coupling 360 to 1000 MHz The Big Deal High Power handling (15W) CASE STYLE: FV1206-1 Industry leading combination of size/bandwidth Product Overview Mini-Circuits new Bi-directional coupler BDCN-20-13+ offers an industry leading combination of operating bandwidth and size The low insertion loss makes this component a versatile building block for use in a variety of systems and sub-system designs. Feature Advantages Offered in the FV1206-1 package size, the BDCN-20-13+ offers an industry leading combination of size, Small Size bandwidth and frequency. The small footprint (3.2mm x1.6mm) allows for reduced parasitics in systems with improved performance and simplified layout. The .15 dB typical insertion loss make this design ideal for power monitoring, signal conditioning, and Low Loss open circuit, fault protection circuits. Capable of operating up to 15W, the LTCC construction of the BDCN-20-13+ makes this bi-directional High Power handlingl coupler a robust, rugged product that can be used effectively in either the transmit or receive paths.
