KRYTAR, one of the leading companies in the design and production of ultra-broadband microwave components has introduced two new ULTRA+ 90-Degree Hybrid Couplers that deliver 3 dB of coupling over the frequency range of 10.0 to 40.0 GHz in compact packages. KRYTAR’s new family of ULTRA+ 180-Degree, 3 dB, Hybrid Couplers offers some of the tightest specifications available on the market.
KRYTAR’s new ULTRA+ hybrid couplers Model ULTRA3100400 and Model ULTRA3100400K deliver exceptional broadband versatility from 10.0 to 40.0 GHz (X- though Ka-Bands) with excellent phase and amplitude matching. Typical specifications include 3 dB Coupling; Amplitude Imbalance: ±0.8 dB; Phase Imbalance is ±18 degrees; Isolation is over 14 dB; Maximum VSWR: 1.6 and Insertion Loss of less than 1.5 dB. These new models 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.
Both Model ULTRA3100400 and Model ULTRA3100400K offer Input Power Rating of 20 W average and 3 kW peak. The ULTRA3100400 comes with industry-standard 2.4mm Female Connectors, while ULTRA3100400K comes with industry-standard 2.9mm (K) Female Connectors. The compact packages measure just 1.10 inches (L) x 0.86 inches (W) x 0.50 inches (H), and weighs only 0.9 ounces (2.4mm connectors) and 0.8 ounces (2.92mm connectors. Operating temperature is -54° to 85° C. These couplers are typically available from stock to 30 days, ARO.
KRYTAR’s New line of high-performance ULTRA+ 90 Degree Hybrid Couplers offer ultra-wideband frequency coverage from 0.5 to 40 GHz (UHF- through Ka-Bands) in single, compact packages, and offer low insertion loss, high directivity and tight coupling. These hybrid couplers offer excellent solutions for many ultra-broadband applications including electronic warfare (EW), mmWave, 6G, 5G NR (New Radio), Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E, SATCOM, radar, MIMO (Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output) radio links, signal monitoring and measurement, antenna beamforming, and EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) testing environments. The couplers can be also be manufactured to meet military specifications.
KRYTAR also offers complete engineering services for custom designs that meet or exceed critical performance and/or packaging specifications. Data sheets with specifications and package outline drawings are available via KRYTAR’s website.
