Microlab/FXR Forges Three-Way Hybrid Combiner

April 3, 2007

Microlab/FXR, a wholly owned subsidiary of Wireless Telecom Group, has developed a three-way hybrid combiner for trisector cell-site applictions from 700 to 2700 MHz. The combiner allows three input signals to be added without expensive filters. Each input is rated for 60 W average power and 3 kW peak power. isolation between ports is better than 23 dB across the full frequency range. The passive intermodulation (PIM) is specified at -130 dBc and is guaranteed as low as -150 dBc and more with an additional testing charge. The hybrid combiner is available with Type N or 7/16 EIA type connectors. For more information on the three-way hybrid, visit the Microlab/FXR website at: http://www.microlab.fxr.com
