Product Overview

RENT AMPLIFIER RESEARCH DC3510A

The AR / Amplifier Research DC3510A is a high power ultra-broadband Dual Directional Coupler offers excellent performance characteristics over a range of more than 14 octaves. The DC3510A 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 DC3510A is uniquely suited for use with the AR “A”, “L” and “W” series low power amplifiers, any other amplifiers operating within this frequency and power range, and the Amplifier Research PM2002 power meter.
