Notes:
* At 25°C includes power & frequency variations up to 12.4 GHz. Above 12.4 GHz add 0.5 dB typ. to accuracy and 0.3 typ. to VSWR in the U range.
Temperature coefficient for attenuation .0004 dB/dB/°C typ.
** Average power at 25°C ambient, derate linearly to 2W at 100°C. Peak Power 125W max., 5µsec pulse width, 100 Hz PRF.
