Pico Xinger
20dB Directional Coupler
Description
The 1P620 Pico Xinger is a low profile, miniature 20dB directional coupler
in an easy to use surface mount package designed for MMDS and WLAN
applications. The 1P620 is for power and frequency detection as well as
power injection. The 1P620 is an ideal solution for the ever-increasing
demands of the wireless industry for smaller printed circuit boards and high
performance. Parts have been subjected to rigorous qualification testing
and units are 100% tested. They are manufactured using materials with x
and y thermal expansion coefficients compatible with common substrates.
Available in both 5 of 6 tin lead (1P620) and 6 of 6 RoHS compliant tin
immersion (1P620S).

COUPLING
Choice of a coupling value in an application normally
depends on the power level of the main (sampled) line.
For example, if the coupler is being used to monitor main
line power, the coupling value is selected to provide
sufficient power to the monitoring device and yet
minimize system loss. Note that any coupler reduces
power flowing in the main line by the amount coupled off;
a 10dB coupler reduces main line power by 1 dB (10%)
where a 20dB coupler reduces it by only 0.044dB (1%).
Anaren uses mean coupling and frequency sensitivity
with the coupling specification. The mean coupling value
is arrived at by periodically sampling the coupling value
over the specified band and averaging the readings.
Frequency sensitivity is the peak to peak variation in
coupling over the specified band.
VSWR & DIRECTIVITY
In directional couplers, directivity is specified in lieu of
isolation. Directivity is a measure of how well the coupled
power is isolated from reflections at the main line output
port. For example, open or short circuiting the output port
of a coupler with 20dB directivity would only affect the
coupled output power by 1% and only 0.1% for 30dB
directivity. High directivity is especially important if the
coupler is being used to measure the VSWR of a device
at its output port. In this application, accurate
measurements of forward and reverse power are
required.
In theory, VSWR and directivity characteristics of a
coupler are perfect; the input and output ports are
perfectly matched and no power is coupled to the isolated
port. In practice, factors associated with the design and
manufacturing processes limit VSWR and directivity. The

VSWR & DIRECTIVITY (CONTI NUED)
internal meandering of the coupled lines and
limitations of building perfect 50Ω transitions at the
input and output ports of the device are the most
significant factors against perfect VSWR and
directivity. Typically, VSWR and directivity of 1.15:1
and 25 dB respectively are achieved in practice.
INSERTION LOSS
Coupler insertion loss is defined as the log of the input
power divided by the sum of the power at the two
output ports. In practice, typical loss is approximately
0.20 dB. Specification limits are somewhat higher due
to imperfect test conditions; surface mount couplers
must be tested in test fixtures that negatively affect
results.
PIN CONFIGURATION
The 1P520’s have an orientation marker to denote
either pin 1 or pin 2. When the input port is identified,
the output, coupled and isolated ports are known
automatically. For example, if the input port for a
device was selected to be Pin 1, Pin 2 automatically
becomes the output port, Pin 4 becomes the coupled
port, and Pin 3 is the isolated port. Similarly, if Pin 2
was to be selected as the input port, the adjacent port
on the long side (Pin 1) is the output port, the adjacent
port on the short side (Pin 3) is the coupled port, and
the opposite port (Pin 4) is the isolated port. Either
port on the same side as the orientation marker can
be selected as the input port, as shown in the table,
which shows both pin configurations. The use of pin
1 or pin 2 as the input port ensures phase consistency
as well as maximum power handling.
MOUNTING
For Xinger surface mount couplers to operate optimally,
there must be 50Ω transmission lines leading to and from
all of the RF ports. To ensure proper electrical and
thermal performance, there must be a ground plane with
100% solder connection underneath the part. If either of
these two conditions is not satisfied, insertion loss,
coupling, VSWR and directivity may not meet published
specifications.
