The IMD Series 3dB Hybrid Coupler is compact, robust and low profile. These "branchline" devices are ideal for RF, microwave and telecom applications. The IMD series is of thick film alumina construction and is available in microstrip or surface mount technology (SMT) architectures.

These products are offered for engineers and system designers who need exactitude and repeatability in performance with a true and consistent low insertion loss component, rather than settle for the uncertainties associated with a commodity type product or LTCC device.

In addition, the alumina construction coupled with very high conductivity metal alloys provide for much higher input powers than that for other constructions such as PTFE.

IMS has developed these 3dB hybrids with center frequencies at 6.0 GHz, 6.5 GHz, 3.5 GHz, 4.0 GHz, and 4.6 GHz (typically with 5 - 10% bandwidths). Contact us with your specific requirements or to obtain a sample of our existing product. Size and insertion loss are generally determined by center frequency.
