These new directional couplers are a direct response to customer demands we’ve received from the field, says Mike Lugert, the product line manager responsible for subminiature product lines within Anaren’s Wireless Group. These parts have been optimized for each of the wireless bands — namely GSM, CDMA, WIFI, LTE, UMTS, WIMAX and Bluetooth — to deliver exceptionally low insertion loss and frequency sensitivity, which are critical for RF power sensing and injection.
Specs for the new directional couplers are as follows:

Lugert also emphasized some of the product line’s other attractive features:
* RoHS-compliant, Halogen-free design — to keep pace with emerging, global environmental standards for electronic products and equipment;
* Superior unit-to-unit consistency — Xinger-brand components are pre-tested and offer highly repeatable performance compared to the variability seen with low-cost PCB manufacturing;
* High reliability — Anaren’s softboard SMT solution matches the CTE characteristics of PCB; and
* Ready availability — as with other Anaren standard components targeted to the wireless market, this new line is available through Anaren’s authorized stocking distributors: Richardson RFPD (worldwide), Avnet (Asia), and BFI Optilas (Europe).
