Hybrid Coupler Splits/Combines GaN MMIC Devices

Groomed for splitting and combining GaN MMIC devices with 25-Ohm input and output impedances, the Model IPP-4011 impedance-transforming, 3-dB 90º hybrid coupler covers the 1 GHz to 2.5 GHz frequency range. The component combines two signals to deliver up to 300W CW total output power and it employs a patent-pending design that provides two 50-Ohm ports and two 25-Ohm ports. Impedance transformation occurs inside the coupler, making it suitable for use in mixed-impedance systems. Available in a drop-in style package measuring 2.2” x 0.8” x 0.23” with solder-tab connections, the coupler specifies an insertion loss of less than 0.5 dB, phase balance of less than ±5?, VSWR of less than 1.3:1, amplitude balance of less than ±0.9 dB, and greater than 14 dB of isolation.
