The MECA 715-10-1.500V is a 50-ohm directional coupler engineered for high-power RF signal monitoring, external leveling, signal mixing, and swept transmission/reflection measurements across 0.800 GHz to 2.200 GHz. It delivers 10 dB coupling with minimal insertion loss and DC-isolated coupled ports that pass only RF signals.
