MMIC Surface Mount Directional Coupler EDC21-24+ 50 21 dB 4 to 20 GHz The Big Deal Wideband, 4-20 GHz Excellent coupling flatness 212 dB typ. Highly repeatable performance (GaAs based design) Small Size, 4 x 4 mm CASE STYLE: DG1847 No external termination required Product Overview Mini-Circuits EDC21-24+ is a 21 dB directional coupler that operates from 4 to 20 GHz packaged in MCLP 4 x 4mm, 24-lead package. It provides excellent coupling flatness over a broad bandwidth and good return loss. This coupler also provides a quadrature phase shift between the signal at the through port and coupler port. Manufacturing using GaAs Technology, this model results in relatively high repeatablility in performance. Key Features Feature Advantages EDC21-24+ can be used in many applications, saving component count. Also ideal for wideband Wideband, 4-20 GHz applications such as military and instrumentation.
