COUPLING
Choice of a coupling value in an application normally
depends on the power level of the main (sampled) line.
For example, if the coupler is being used to monitor main
line power, the coupling value is selected to provide
sufficient power to the monitoring device and yet
minimize system loss. Note that any coupler reduces
power flowing in the main line by the amount coupled off;
a 10dB coupler reduces main line power by 1 dB (10%)
where a 20dB coupler reduces it by only 0.044dB (1%).
Anaren uses mean coupling and frequency sensitivity
with the coupling specification. The mean coupling value
is arrived at by periodically sampling the coupling value
over the specified band and averaging the readings.
Frequency
sensitivity is the peak to peak variation in
coupling over the specified band.
VSWR & DIRECTIVITY
In directional couplers, directivity is specified in lieu of
isolation. Directivity is a measure of how well the coupled
power is isolated from reflections at the main line output
port. For example, open or short circuiting the output port
of a coupler with 20dB directivity would only affect the
coupled output power by 1% and only 0.1% for 30dB
directivity. High directivity is especially important if the
coupler is being used to measure the VSWR of a device
at its output port. In this application, accurate
measurements of forward and reverse power are
required.
In theory, VSWR and directivity characteristics of a
coupler are perfect; the input and output ports are
perfectly matched and no power is coupled to the isolated
port. In practice, factors associated with the design and
manufacturing processes limit VSWR and directivity. The

VSWR & DIRECTIVITY (CONTINUED)
internal meandering of the coupled lines and
limitations of building perfect 50 transitions at the
input and output ports of the device are the most
significant factors against perfect VSWR and
directivity. Typically, VSWR and directivity of
1.15:1 and 25 dB respectively are achieved in
practice.
INSERTION LOSS
Coupler insertion loss is defined as the log of the
input power divided by the sum of the power at the
two output ports. In practice, typical loss is
approximately 0.20 dB. Specification limits are
somewhat higher due to imperfect test conditions;
surface mount couplers must be tested in test
fixtures that negatively affect results.
PIN CONFIGURATION
The 1P510's have an orientation marker to denote
either pin 1 or pin 2. When the input port is
identified, the output, coupled and isolated ports
are known automatically. For example, if the input
port for a device was selected to be Pin 1, Pin 2
automatically becomes the output port, Pin 4
becomes the coupled port, and Pin 3 is the
isolated port. Similarly, if Pin 2 was to be selected
as the input port, the adjacent port on the long
side (Pin 1) is the output port, the adjacent port on
the short side (Pin 3) is the coupled port, and the
opposite port (Pin 4) is the isolated port. Either
port on the same side as the orientation marker
can be selected as the input port, as shown in the
table, which shows both pin configurations. The
use of pin 1 or pin 2 as the input port ensures
phase consistency as well as maximum power
handling.
MOUNTING
For Xinger surface mount couplers to operate optimally,
there must be 50
transmission lines leading to and
from all of the RF ports. To ensure proper electrical and
thermal performance, there must be a ground plane with
100% solder connection underneath the part. If either of
these two conditions is not satisfied, insertion loss,
coupling, VSWR and directivity may not meet published
specifications.
