KRYTAR Announces Two New Compact 3 dB, 180-Degree Hybrid Couplers Covering 3 To 32 GHz

KRYTAR, Inc., a leader in the design and production of ultra-broadband microwave components and test equipment announces two new 180-Degree Hybrid Couplers that deliver 3 dB of coupling over the frequency range of 3.0 to 32.0 GHz in compact packages. 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 hybrid couplers Model 4030320 and Model 403020K deliver exceptional versatility from 3.0 to 32.0 GHz (S- thru Q-Bands) with excellent phase and amplitude matching. Typical specifications include 3 dB Coupling; Amplitude Imbalance: ±1.0 dB; Phase Imbalance is ±14 degrees; Isolation is >18 dB; Maximum VSWR: 1.8; and Insertion Loss of <3.5 dB.

Both Model 4030320 and Model 403020K offer Input Power Rating of 20 W average and 3 kW peak. The hybrid coupler Model 4030320 comes with industry-standard 2.4mm Female Connectors, while Model 403020K comes with industry-standard 2.9mm (K) Female Connectors. The compact packages measure just 3.28 inches (L) x 1.04 inches (W) x 0.42 inches (H), and weigh only 2.7 ounces. Operating temperature is -54° to 85° C. These couplers are typically available from stock to 30 days, ARO.

KRYTAR 180 Degree Hybrid Couplers are four-port components with dual input and output ports. KRYTAR hybrid couplers offer wide frequency coverage in single, compact packages, which provide 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 Web site. For more information, visit www.krytar.com
