Microwave hybrid coupler covering 1 to 26.5 GHz for antenna beamforming networks introduced by Krytar

SUNNYVALE, Calif., 23 Oct. 2010.RF and microwave specialist Krytar Inc. in Sunnyvale, Calif., is introducing the Model 4010265 compact 180-degree microwave hybrid coupler that delivers 3 dB of coupling over the frequency range of 1 to 26.5 GHz for splitting and combining signals in amplifiers, switching circuits, and antenna beamforming networks in military and commercial applications.

The hybrid coupler lends itself to emerging wireless broadband designs and many test and measurement applications. Typical specifications include amplitude imbalance: plus-or-minus 1.0 dB from 1-20 GHz and plus-or-minus 1.5 dB from 20 to 26.5 GHz; phase imbalance is plus-or-minus 16 degrees; isolation is >15 dB; maximum VSWR: 1.8 from 1 to 20 GHz and 1.95 from 20 to 26.5 GHz; insertion loss is 3.0 dB from 1 to 20 GHz and 3.6 dB from 20 to 26.5 GHz.

The coupler handles 20 Watts of average power and 3 kilowatts of peak power. This compact couplers measure 4 by 1.35 by 0.52 inches, and weighs 4.6 ounces. SMA female connectors are standard and N-type female connectors are optional. Operating temperature is -54 to 85 degrees Celsius.
