The Model DC3400A is a high power ultra-broadband dual directional coupler with excellent performance
characteristics over a range of more than 15 octaves. This dual directional coupler is a convenient means of
simultaneously monitoring forward and reflected power in RF power systems using normal laboratory
oscilloscopes, voltmeters, power meters and spectrum analyzers. The Model DC3400A is particularly
recommended for use with our A-Series amplifiers, our PM2003 Power Meter and other amplifiers operating
within the frequency and power range.
With a Frequency range of 10kHz to 400MHz, the Model DC3400A is particularly well suited for Bulk Current
Injection (BCI) test applications.
The export classification for this equipment is EAR99.
controlled for export in accordance with the U.S. Export Administration Regulations. Diversion contrary to U.S.
law is prohibited.
