    Coupler Terminology Description The 776D is a dual directional coupler designed for use in 50-ohm coaxial systems. In this coupler, nominal coupling is 20 dB. The coupling variation with frequency of each auxiliary arm is marked on the nameplate opposite the appropriate auxiliary arm.
  • Page 12 A network analyzer with either phase magnitude display, phase gain display Reflectometer or polar display, with a sweep generator with appropriate RF unit plug-in, may be used with the 776D as a reflectometer test setup. The network analyzer reflectometer may be used either for fixed frequency or swept frequency measurements.

    N-male Pin Depth: –0.207 inches to –0.213 inches (effective 0 to –0.006 inches) Operating Operate the 776D in the range from 0 °C to +55 °C and protect it from excessive humidity. Environment CAUTION Do not heat cycle this coupler during use or storage. Keep coupler near room temperature (25 °C).
  • Page 15 Signal Flow Signal flow is indicated in Figure 3. Coupling is indicated by arrows. The 776D is bi-directional (signal may go through the coupler in either direction). Figure 3 Type N Connector Dimensions K eysight 776D Operating and Service Manual 5...
  • Page 16: Storage And Shipment

    Storage and Shipment Environment The 776D may be stored in surroundings between –40 °C and +75 °C. However, heat cycling should be avoided by storing at an even room temperature (25 °C) if at all possible. The greater the heat cycling, the greater chance of dimensional change of the printed circuit board resulting in out-of-specification operation.

The true 776D directivity is the other original corrected result, which changed when the sliding load was loosened. It is...
