The PRD Electronics 432-10 is a coaxial directional coupler engineered for precision RF signal sampling and monitoring across the 2 to 4 GHz band. This Type N female-connectorized device provides 10 dB coupling for applications requiring accurate signal extraction without significant main line attenuation. The directional coupler extracts a small, controlled sample of transmitted or reflected power, enabling real-time measurement and analysis of RF signals in test, measurement, and communications systems.
