CPL-5216-20-NNN-79

CPL-5216-20-NNN-79 is a directional coupler that is used to measure the power in radio frequency (RF) circuitry without needing a direct electrical connection to the transmission line. Instead, the RF is coupled to the transmission line using a specialized device that is designed to extract small amounts of power without significantly affecting the performance of the circuit. It is one type of device that falls under the moniker of RF Directional Coupler technology. This article will discuss the application fields and working principles of the CPL-5216-20-NNN-79 RF Directional Coupler.

Application Fields

The CPL-5216-20-NNN-79 is designed to measure the power in a variety of different radio applications, including broadcast radio, cellular networks, and satellite communications. It is also used in testing and measurement applications. The CPL-5216-20-NNN-79 has the ability to measure the power of radio signals with a frequency range of 50-6000 MHz, and with an input power of 0-20 dBm, making it suitable for a variety of applications.

Working Principles

An RF Directional Coupler contains two main parts: the main line and the coupling loop. The main line is the part that carries the radio signal, while the coupling loop is the part that extracts sample energy from the main line. The amount of energy extracted by the coupling loop is controlled by a potentiometer on the RF Directional Coupler. The energy extracted from the coupling loop is then fed to a measuring circuit, such as a power meter, which can then provide measurements of the radio signal on the main line.

The CPL-5216-20-NNN-79 is a unique type of RF Directional Coupler that works on the principle of inductive coupling. Inductive coupling is the process in which energy is transferred from one insulated wire (the main line) to another (the coupling loop) when they are placed in close proximity to each other, without needing to be electrically connected. This characteristic allows the CPL-5216-20-NNN-79 to extract sample energy from the main line without causing interference or disruption to the circuit being tested, making it ideal for testing and measurement applications.

The CPL-5216-20-NNN-79 can also be used to determine the power of an RF signal, as the coupling loop\'s output can be connected to a power meter. By measuring the voltage across the power meter, it is possible to calculate the power of the signal on the main line with great accuracy.

Conclusion

The CPL-5216-20-NNN-79 is a RF Directional Coupler that is used to measure the power of radio signals with high accuracy. It utilizes inductive coupling to extract sample energy from the main line without causing interference to the circuit being tested. This makes it an ideal device for broadcast radio, cellular networks, satellite communications, and testing and measurement applications.
