General-purpose hybrids suit applications from 200MHz to 18GHz
New from RF and microwave component specialist Link Microtek are two series of 90-degree hybrid devices, which are designed to function as either combiners or dividers in a wide range of military and commercial applications over the frequency range 0.2 to 18.0GHz.
ManuThe TGD-A2 series devices are equipped with SMA-type female connectors and feature a 50ohm impedance, insertion losses as low as 0.3dB, and VSWR values ranging from 1.2:1 to 1.6:1. In addition, they offer excellent phase and amplitude balance and a high isolation of typically 22dB.
Complementing them are the TGD-B2 series of hybrids, which have N-type female connectors and a power-handling capability of 120W, making them particularly suitable for use in
high-power cellular communications applications in the 0.8 to 2.5GHz frequency band.
