July 14, 2010

Model IPP-2192 is a surface-mount 3-dB hybrid coupler from Innovative Power Products that operates from 80 to 1000 MHz with less than 0.75 dB insertion loss and less than 1.35:1 VSWR. The 90-deg. hybrid coupler, which exhibits more than 16 dB isolation between ports, can combine two signals totaling as much as 250 W CW power. It achieves amplitude balance of better than +/- 1.20 dB and phase balance of better than +/- 8 deg. The 90-deg. hybrid coupler is supplied in a miniature drop-in package measuring 2.50 x 3.70 in.
