QuinStar Technology's QJH series of matched hybrid tees (magic
tees) cover the frequency range of 18 to 170 GHz in nine waveguide bands. These
four-port devices are used for balanced power-combining and/or dividing RF signals over a
broad bandwidth. They are constructed using a rugged and compact split-block mechanical
design with convenient interfaces. A signal entering either of the two input ports is
split equally between two of the other ports and is isolated from the fourth port. The
signals emanating from the "E" plane port are 180 degrees out of phase. The
signals emanating from the "H" plane port are in phase. The ports are matched so
that isolation between the series arm (E-plane) and the shunt arm (H-plane) is 30dB
minimum. Isolation between co-linear arms is 20dB typical. |
Typical
applications for these tees include power dividers/combiners, bridge circuits, balanced
mixers, amplifiers, and instrumentation setups. QuinStar can provide custom 4- or 8-way
power dividers by combining several hybrid tees (power dividers) into a single housing. It
is also possible to configure the hybrid junctions to achieve unequal power split in 3, 5,
6 or 7 ports.
QuinStar Technology can also
supply custom configurations ("folded tees") with output ports in different
locations than in the standard product. Other power dividers (short slot hybrids and
"rat-race" hybrids) are also available as special orders. If your application
requires a unique power division scheme, please contact QuinStar with your requirements. |
