The 707 series of 180-deg. hybrid power dividers/combiners from Meca Electronics features models with Type N and SMA connectors for wireless applications from 0.4 to 6.0 GHz in 10-percent bandwidths. The components meet IP65 requirements and can handle as much as 150 W continuous power and 1 kW peak power. They measure 2.5 x 2.0 x 0.82 in. and exhibit 25 dB typical isolation with less than 0.6 dB insertion loss and typical VSWR of 1.20:1. An example of one of the Type N products is model 707N-2.850, which operates from 2.7 to 3.0 GHz. It handles 100 W CW power with 22 dB typical isolation and 1.25:1 typical VSWR.
