They can be used for measurement purposes or for power leveling. The coupling in the 773D changes the same as the coupling variation of the input coupler in the 772D. This property may be used to cancel out the coupling variation of the 772D in a reflectometer setup by using the 773D to change the coupling for tracking purposes.
