Keysight 778D Dual Directional Coupler Operating and Service Manual Overview Description This chapter provides an overview of the 778D dual directional coupler.
This coupler may be used in the measurement of reflection coefficients or SWR over a very wide frequency range. The relatively constant coupling across several frequency bands and the stability of coupling with time make the 778D useful, also, as a wideband attenuator or for power monitoring applications.

Keysight 778D Dual Directional Coupler Operating and Service Manual Installation and Shipping Unpacking and Inspection Repackaging for Shipment Load-Bearing This chapter provides the information on how to check, install, and return the 778D dual directional coupler to Keysight Technologies.
The coupler was carefully inspected mechanically and electrically prior to shipment. If there is damage or deficiency, notify the carrier and the nearest Keysight Technologies office. In the event of mechanical damage, the packing materials and carton should be held for the carrier’s inspection.
The following general instructions should be used when repackaging with commercially available materials: 1 Wrap the coupler in heavy paper or plastic. (If shipping to a Keysight Technologies office or service center, attach a tag indicating the type of service required, return address, and model number.)
When installing be sure auxiliary equipment supports its own weight. The coupler, particularly the connectors, is not designed to carry weight. Load limits for APC-7 connectors are given in Figure 3-2. Figure 3-2 Load limits for APC-7 connector Keysight 778D Operating and Service Manual...

Keysight 778D Dual Directional Coupler Operating and Service Manual Operation Signal Flow Coupler Temperature Power Leveling Maintenance This chapter provides the information to operate the 778D dual directional coupler.
Figure 4-1 Signal flow Coupler Temperature Operate the coupler at normal room temperature and do not temperature cycle the coupler in use or storage. Heat cycling may degrade the performance of the coupler. Keysight 778D Operating and Service Manual...
Operation Power Leveling The 778D has cyclic coupling variations of up to ±2 dB. For this reason it is not recommended for power leveling that requires flatness exceeding these tolerances. A typical coupling curve is shown Figure 2-1 page Maintenance The directional coupler should need very little maintenance besides keeping it clean and protecting the connector faces.
