20.3.1.5. Wideband Asymmetric Coupler (07-015105)
The purpose of Wideband Asymmetric Coupler (07-015105) is to tap off a known portion (in this case
30dB) of RF signal from transmission lines and to combine them, for example through splitter units for
different purposes (alarms/monitoring etc.), whilst maintaining an accurate 50Ω load to all
ports/interfaces throughout the specified frequency range. They are known formally as directional
couplers as they couple power from the RF mainline in one direction only.

20.3.1.6. Dummy Load 09-000902
When a combiner system is used to split or combine RF signals, in many cases it is most cost
effective to use a standard stock item 4, 6 or 8 port device where, in fact, only a 3 or 6 port device is
needed. In this case 4 Port Hybrid Coupler (05-003007) has one of its ports terminated with an
appropriate Dummy Load in order to preserve the correct impedance of the device over the specified
frequency range.
