DIRECTIONAL COUPLERS

CSD-10Z-3.5G

MULTI-MIX PICO™ Z-SERIES DIRECTIONAL COUPLERS

The Multi-Mix

power handling in a small outline. Precise coupling and frequency sensitivity make them ideal for

applications involving power amplifiers, signal distribution and processing.

CSD-Z directional couplers are fusion bonded multilayer stripline assemblies. The fusion bonding

process yields a homogeneous monolithic dielectric structure with reliability, ruggedness, and electrical

performance that is superior to conventional adhesive bonding techniques.

The CSD-Z series is an easy to install SMD designed specifically for the full spectrum of wireless

applications. The high stability ceramic filled PTFE dielectrics utilized in these components are

compatible with common substrates such as FR-4, G-10, and polyamide. The wrap around ground

plane provides excellent EM shielding.

Additional benefits include:

• Small outline size

• High power…100 Watts CW

• Cost effective for commercial wireless applications

• Operating temperature range –55°C to +85°C.

• Available on tape and reel

• Can be integrated with other Multi-Mix

RELIABILITY

The product family has passed environmental screening including Thermal shock, Burn-in, Acceleration,

Vibration, Mechanical Shock, Moisture Resistance, Resistance to Solder Heat, and Thermal Cycling Life

Test (>1000 cycles).

THE MULTI-MIX

Multi-Mix

bonded together into a multilayer structure. The fusion bonding process yields a homogeneous

monolithic structure with superior performance at microwave and millimeter wave frequencies. The

bonded multilayers can contain embedded semiconductors, MMICs, etched resistors, circuit patterns,

and plated-through vias to form a SMD module that requires no additional packaging and is suitable for

automated assembly.
