What is a 180-Degree Hybrid Coupler?
A 180 degree hybrid coupler is a type of coupler that splits an input signal into two signals of equal amplitude with a 180 degree phase differential. These couplers typically have a lower insertion loss than resistive power dividers or combiners.
Key Specifications:
Frequency (MHz): This is the frequency at which the hybrid coupler operates.
Average Power (W): The CW/Average power level that the 180-degree hybrid coupler can handle.
Insertion Loss (dB): The loss in the signal when the input signal is split into two is the insertion loss. The lower the insertion loss the better the performance of the hybrid.
Package Type: These are available in a number of package types – Surface Mount, Modules with Connectors – SMA Hybrids, BNC Hybrids etc.
