TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION / APPLICATION
MULTI-MIX PICO™ Z-SERIES DIRECTIONAL COUPLERS
The Multi-Mix
®
CSD-Z series provides directional couplers with low insertion loss, low VSWR, and high
power handling in a small outline. Precise coupling and frequency sensitivity make them ideal for
applications involving power amplifiers, signal distribution and processing.
CSD-Z directional couplers are fusion bonded multilayer stripline assemblies. The fusion bonding
process yields a homogeneous monolithic dielectric structure with reliability, ruggedness, and electrical
performance that is superior to conventional adhesive bonding techniques.
The CSD-Z series is an easy to install SMD designed specifically for the full spectrum of wireless
applications. The high stability ceramic filled PTFE dielectrics utilized in these components are
compatible with common substrates such as FR-4, G-10, and polyamide. The wrap around ground
plane provides excellent EM shielding.
Additional benefits include:

THE MULTI-MIX
®
PROCESS
Multi-Mix
®
is a manufacturing process based on fluoropolymer composite substrates that are fusion
bonded together into a multilayer structure. The fusion bonding process yields a homogeneous
monolithic structure with superior performance at microwave and millimeter wave frequencies. The
bonded multilayers can contain embedded semiconductors, MMICs, etched resistors, circuit patterns,
and plated-through vias to form a SMD module that requires no additional packaging and is suitable for
automated assembly.
