COUPLER 8DB N F/F 800-2500 MHZ

Frequency Range: 800 MHz to 2500 MHz

This range covers several communication and broadcast bands, including some used in cellular and Wi-Fi applications.
Coupling Factor: 8 dB

The coupling factor of 8 dB means that the output signal is attenuated by 8 dB compared to the input signal. In practical terms, the power of the coupled signal is approximately 1/16 of the input signal power.
Directivity: Typically 15 dB to 25 dB

Directivity measures how effectively the coupler isolates the coupled output from the direct signal path. Higher directivity indicates better separation and reduced leakage between the input and output signals.
Insertion Loss: Typically 0.5 dB to 1.0 dB

Insertion loss is the amount of signal power lost when the coupler is inserted into the signal path. Lower insertion loss values are preferable as they indicate minimal disruption to the main signal.
Return Loss: Typically 15 dB to 20 dB

Return loss measures how well the coupler matches the impedance of the transmission lines. Higher return loss values signify better impedance matching and less signal reflection.
Power Handling: Typically 10 W to 30 W

This denotes the maximum power the coupler can handle without damage. The exact rating depends on the design and construction materials used in the coupler.
Connector Type: N-type Female

The coupler features N-type female connectors, which are known for their durability and suitability for high-frequency applications. These connectors are threaded to ensure a secure connection with male connectors.
Construction: Typically made from high-quality materials such as aluminum or brass with dielectric materials like PTFE (Teflon)

The materials used affect the coupler’s performance, reliability, and frequency response.
Dimensions: Varies by model

The physical dimensions and form factor will depend on the specific design and manufacturer. Ensure the coupler fits within the physical constraints of your system.
Environmental Conditions:

Temperature Range: Typically from -40°C to +85°C
Humidity: Generally up to 95% non-condensing
Key Considerations:
Moderate Attenuation: With an 8 dB coupling factor, this coupler provides moderate attenuation, making it suitable for applications where a balanced approach is needed between signal strength and sampling.

Performance Metrics: Ensure that the coupler has good directivity and low insertion loss to maintain accurate signal sampling and minimize impact on the main signal path.

Application Suitability: Ideal for applications such as network monitoring, RF signal analysis, and signal distribution where moderate signal attenuation is required.
