Description
The WMADC-0.38-3-40DB-1-NM is a high-power 40 dB directional coupler covering 380 to 3000 MHz, supporting a wide range of VHF, UHF, cellular, LTE, and wireless infrastructure bands. Built on an air dielectric coaxial structure, this design delivers low insertion loss, excellent power handling, and exceptional directivity for accurate forward and reverse power discrimination. Werbel Microwave Cage Code: 78YZ0.
