Basic theory and common applications for 90° and 180° hybrid couplers. Diagrams for all possible port configurations and resultant phase relationships. more...
A 3 dB, 90° hybrid coupler is a four-port device that is used either to equally split an input signal with a resultant 90° phase shift between output signals or to combine two signals while maintaining high isolation between them.
Now available in 7/16 DIN! MECA’s line of high power 3 dB, 90° hybrid couplers covers all wireless band applications from UHF through UMTS (0.400-2.200 GHz) with power levels to 500 watts. Ideal for use as a duplexer for DAS head end systems or combining amplifiers for antenna sharing applications with high isolation. These units are equipped with 7/16 DIN-Female, N-Female or SMA-Female connectors and a rugged aluminum housing coated with a yellow iridite finish for long lasting, reliable performance. Made in USA and offer low insertion loss and excellent VSWR. Whether you are designing a duplexer, combining amplifiers or just need a 90° phase shift with high isolation to avoid mixing signals, then MECA’s 705 series will help you achieve your objectives.
Notes:
1. 705 Series has a peak power rating of 3 kW, H705N Series is rated at 10 kW.
2. 50 ohm nominal impedance standard.
3. Operating temperature range is -55° C to +85° C.
MECA also offers a hybrid ring power divider/combiner series designed to cover wireless bands from 0.810-6.000 GHz with an average RF power handling capacity of 1,000 watts (5 kW peak). All models provide a power split of 3.00 ± 0.35 dB over the specified frequency range.
Notes:
1. Insertion loss is 0.15 dB max; .1dB as a coupler with coherent signals
2. All units have a peak power rating of 5 kW.
3. 50 ohm nominal impedance standard.
4. Operating temperature range is -55° C to +85° C.
