XC3500P-20S RF/IF and RFID

The RF Directional Coupler, XC3500P-20S is a special type of coupler which permits the power of received RF signals to be measured with a high degree of accuracy. This Power Measuring Directional Coupler is particularly suitable for measuring and monitoring high powered systems. The XC3500P-20S works based on the principle of building an isolated bridge to separate the power in a coupled path from an isolated path.

The bridge contains four hybrid couplers which are tuned to have a 50 dB coupling factor across the 2-30 GHz frequency range of the XC3500P-20S. The coupled arm of the bridge contains resistive loads which converts the incident energy into an electrical signal by applying Ohm’s law. Also, a low-pass filter is added to eliminate the measurements at higher frequencies in the spectrum. The XC3500P-20S is designed to provide 20 dB of rejection at forward and reverse power levels, which is ideal for high power applications such as microwave communication systems.

The XC3500P-20S is a compact, broadband directional coupler for monitoring RF signals in high fired systems. The XC3500P-20S allows for accurate power measurements of forward and reverse power levels which makes the coupler suitable for power balancing, monitoring and comparison of RF signals. The bridge design of the XC3500P-20S also provides for good isolation, allowing the coupler to work with various types of input signals without affecting the accuracy of the power measurement. The design of the XC3500P-20S also allows for good linearity of forward and reverse power levels across the 2-30 GHz frequency range.

The XC3500P-20S is ideal for measuring high power RF transmission systems and radar application systems such as airports, seaports, and military operations. Additionally, the XC3500P-20S can be used in applications such as Installation and Maintenance, System Characterization, and Power Monitoring. The coupler can be used with any frequency source including RF sources such as AM/FM and Television broadcast, HF through UHF systems, and P2P microwave links.

The XC3500P-20S is a robust device which allows for accurate measurements of forward and reverse power levels across its frequency range. The XC3500P-20S is designed with a bridge for accurate power measurements of both forward and reverse power levels to provide good isolation from the input signal. Additionally, the XC3500P-20S has a low-pass filter which eliminates the measurements at higher frequencies. The XC3500P-20S is ideal for applications such as Airport Radars, Seaport Monitoring, and Military Applications.
