Results for tag: "Hybrid Coupler"

A hybrid coupler is an electrical switch used to combine or split signals in a transmission line. It is a two-port device that can be used to combine two signals, split a signal into two parts, or provide a signal tap. Hybrid couplers are used in a variety of applications, including radio frequency (RF) systems, microwave systems, and telecommunications systems. Hybrid couplers are typically constructed using a combination of transmission lines, such as microstrip, stripline, or waveguide. The design of the coupler is determined by the application and the desired performance. The performance of the coupler is typically characterized by its insertion loss, isolation, and return loss. Hybrid couplers are used in a variety of industries, including aerospace, defense, telecommunications, and medical. They are also used in consumer electronics, such as cell phones and satellite receivers. Some companies in the hybrid coupler market include Anaren, Avago Technologies, Commscope, and Skyworks Solutions. Show Less Read more
