What Does a Directional Coupler Do, and Why Is It Essential in DAS Projects?
Nov , 22 2025
When working on a Distributed Antenna System (DAS), many engineers encounter a familiar headache: the hardware looks fine — antennas, splitters, cables all seem correctly selected — yet the actual coverage still fluctuates. Some areas have excellent signal, while others stubbornly remain weak. Experienced engineers usually check one component first: the Directional Coupler. Although it’s not as in...
