Model 4194-180 is a miniature 180-deg. hybrid from ARRA capable of handling 50 W average power and 1 kW peak power from 2 to 4 GHz. It keeps insertion loss low, at 0.6 dB maximum, and VSWR of only 1.50:1. The isolation between ports is at least 20 dB. ...

Model 4194-180 is a miniature 180-deg. hybrid from ARRA capable of handling 50 W average power and 1 kW peak power from 2 to 4 GHz. It keeps insertion loss low, at 0.6 dB maximum, and VSWR of only 1.50:1. The isolation between ports is at least 20 dB. The amplitude balance between ports is within +/-0.5 dB while the phase balance between ports is within +/-6 deg. The 180-deg. hybrid measures just 2.00 x 1.50 x 0.38 in. and is supplied in an aluminum housing per MIL-C-22750. SMA female connectors are standard, with Type N connectors available as an option.
