Werbel Microwave WMDCXX-0.13-0.52-Y Customizeable Directional Coupler Covers 130-520MHz VHF/UHF

Werbel Microwave has developed a new series of directional couplers hat is customizeable in terms of dB value and connector configuration.  

Depending on the needs of the customer, the series can be specified with a nominal coupling value +/- 3dB over the range of 130-520MHz, covering most VHF and UHF applications.  Nominal coupling values from 6 to 40 dB may be specified.  

Since Werbel Microwave fabricates pc boards on a build-to-order basis, we can extend the price breaks for mix-and-match if all values and quantities are ordered at the same time.

The unit measures just under 6 inches long, and achieves the compact size by use of high dielectric substrates.  As a side benefit, this material also has high thermal conductivity, allowing us to conservatively rate the unit at 100 watts CW power.

The part nomenclature is WMDCXX-0.13-0.52-Y where XX is the value in dB and Y is the connector configuration: S for SMA-Female, N for N-Female, or NS for N-female mainline with SMA-female coupled port.
