RLC can utilize SC or 7/16 connectors on the main line, should this be needed to meet customer designs. Typical applications for these high power couplers include (but are not limited to):
- High power sampling and signal leveling
- TWTA (traveling wave tube amplifier)/HPA (high power amplifier) test beds
- Calibration Labs
- Power monitoring
- Voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) measurements
