Model ULTRA4100400 comes with industry-standard 2.4 mm Female Connectors and Model ULTRA4100400K comes with 2.92 mm (K) female connectors.

Both hybrid couplers deliver exceptional versatility from 10.0 to 40.0 GHz (X- thru KA-Bands) with excellent phase and amplitude matching. Typical specifications include 3 dB coupling; amplitude imbalance: ±0.9 dB; phase imbalance is ±8 degrees; isolation is >15 dB; maximum VSWR: 1.65; and insertion loss of <1.5 dB.

In addition the couplers offer input power ratings of 20 W average and 3 kW peak. Each of these compact packages measures just 1.10 (L) x 0.86 (W) x 0.50 (H) in. and weighs only 1.2 ounces. Operating temperature is -54°C to 85°C. These couplers are typically available from stock to 30 days, ARO.

The KRYTAR Family of 180 Degree ULTRA+ Hybrid Couplers are four-port components with dual input and output ports operating from 0.5 to 40 GHz. KRYTAR ULTRA+ hybrid couplers offer wideband frequency coverage in single, compact packages, providing low insertion loss, high directivity and tight coupling. These hybrid couplers offer excellent solutions for many ultra-broadband applications including electronic warfare (EW), mmWave, 5G NR (New Radio), 6G, Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E, SATCOM, radar, MIMO radio links, signal monitoring and measurement, antenna beamforming and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing environments. These ultra-wideband couplers can also be manufactured to meet rigid military specifications.

KRYTAR also offers complete engineering services for custom designs that meet or exceed critical performance and/or packaging specifications. Data sheets with specifications and package outline drawings are available via KRYTAR’s website.
