More About 90 Degree Hybrid Couplers / Quadrature Hybrids
90 degree hybrids split the input signal in to two equal signals with a 90 degree phase differential. These typically have a lower insertion loss than resistive power dividers or combiners.
Key Specifications:
Frequency (MHz): This is the frequency at which the device operates.
Average Power (W): The power level up to which the hybrid coupler can maintain its electrical performance.
Insertion Loss (dB): The loss in the signal when the input signal is split into two is know as the insertion loss. The lower the insertion loss the better the performance of the 90 degree hybrids.
Package Type: These are available in a number of package types – Surface Mount, Modules with Connectors – SMA, BNC etc.
