TBSWR-200K500 50 Ω High Power VSWR Bridge

The TBSWR-200K500 high power VSWR – bridge is designed for forward / reverse power measurement in EMC immunity test setups with BCI probes (Substitution Method) and general high power applications in the HF and VHF range. The bridge combines the wide frequency range and directivity of a directional bridge and the low insertion loss and power handling capability of a directional coupler.

The TBSWR-200K500 is characterized in the frequency range from 200 kHz to 500 MHz. The high power handling capability of up to 100W allows inline RF power measurements, and a variety of other applications. The insertion loss over the frequency range is typically between 0. 2 and 0.7 dB, which is significantly smaller than the average 7 dB associated with VSWR – bridges.
