KRYTAR, Inc., a leader in the design and production of ultra-broadband microwave components and test equipment announces a new 180-Degree Hybrid Coupler that delivers 3 dB of coupling over the frequency range of 7.125 to 15.35 GHz in a compact package. KRYTAR’s family of 3 dB, 180-Degree Hybrid Couplers perform many functions, including splitting and combining signals in amplifiers, switching circuits, and antenna beam-forming networks used in a wide range of commercial and military applications.

KRYTAR’s new 180-Degree Hybrid Coupler, Model 407125-1535, delivers exceptional versatility from 7.125 to 15.35 GHz with excellent phase and amplitude matching. Specifications include 3 dB Coupling; Amplitude Imbalance: ±0.6 dB; Phase Imbalance is ±8 degrees; Isolation is >16 dB; Maximum VSWR: 1.6; and Insertion Loss of <1.1 dB. The 180-degree hybrids (also referred to as the “rat race” couplers) are four-part devices that are utilized to either equally divide an input signal or to add-up two fused signals. An extra benefit of this hybrid coupler is to alternately offer an equally-divided 180-degree phase-shifted output signals.

In addition, Model 407125-1535 offers Input Power Rating of 20 W average and 3 kW peak. Read more on the Krytar website
