Thank you. The devices are Mini-Circuits ZFDC-20-5-23. Normally these
devices either have no third numeric indicating 50 Ohms, or a 75
indicating 75 Ohms.
I am trying to determine both the coupler impedance and the device pass
through impedance. I believe the coupler impedance is 23 Ohms as that is
what is measured with a DVM. I will try to measure reflection with a
variable resistor.
