International Manufacturing Services has announced the expansion of its line of low-loss broadband resistive couplers to include wire bondable terminals and alternate configurations. The IMK series couplers now come in both forward and reverse facing directions, coupling values from 06 to 30dB and are rated at 1W dissipated power and 5W through power. The resistive couplers are compact (0.120x0.120inch) alternatives to more complex narrow band ones. They have been characterised to 20GHz and can exhibit insertion loss less than 1dB for nominal values greater than 18dB.
