Designed to facilitate the continued evolution of high-frequency wi-fi techniques in numerous market segments, the brand new DB0402 3dB 90° hybrid couplers present repeatable high-frequency efficiency and steady energy dealing with in miniature, low-profile kind elements suitable with automated meeting.
KYOCERA AVX launched a brand new line of built-in skinny movie (ITF) hybrid couplers designed to facilitate the continued evolution of high-frequency wi-fi techniques in industrial, automotive, telecommunications, and telemetry purposes.
Hybrid couplers are particular four-port directional couplers that break up enter indicators into two equal-amplitude 3dB outputs whose phases are shifted by 90°. Many additionally assist efficiency monitoring and inject indicators with out interrupting the unique sign.
The brand new DB0402 3dB 90° hybrid couplers from KYOCERA AVX function field-proven multilayer thin-film expertise engineered to offer glorious high-frequency efficiency in microwave and RF bands spanning 3,000 to 4,100MHz and allow the short adjustment of RF parameters. In addition they function compact, rugged constructions that measure simply 0.040” x 0.023” x 0.014” ±0.002” (L x W x H), enabling board house financial savings, and lead-free nickel terminations suitable with reflow, wave, vapor section, and handbook soldering methods, enabling dependable automated meeting. Extra advantages embody excessive energy dealing with (1W steady), low insertion loss (-0.5dB typical, -0.8dB max.), excessive isolation, distinctive amplitude and section stability (0.6dB typical, 1.2dB max. and a couple of° typical, 5° max., respectively), temperature stability, linearity enhancements, low parasitics, excessive part-to-part and lot-to-lot repeatability, glorious solderability, self-alignment throughout reflow, and efficient warmth dissipation.
The collection is at present out there in 4 frequency bands with typical efficiency of three,200, 3,500, and three,700, and three,800MHz and is rated for 50Ω impedance and working temperatures extending from -40°C to +85°C. It’s additionally compliant with Worldwide Automotive Activity Pressure (IATF) and RoHS necessities, manufactured in ISO 9001 services, and packaged on tape and reel for automated meeting.
Superb purposes for the collection lengthen all through the commercial, automotive, telecommunications, and telemetry industries and embody base stations, wi-fi LANs, cell communications techniques, 4G, 5G, and 6G LTE infrastructure, satellite tv for pc TV receivers, world positioning techniques (GPS), RF balanced amplifiers, sign distribution, heavy-duty radios, automobile location techniques, and different high-frequency wi-fi techniques.
“The speedy evolution and enlargement of 5G, SATCOM, and different high-frequency wi-fi applied sciences is fueling the evolution of enabling applied sciences, together with millimeter wave and MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output) antennas, that are empowered by progressive microwave and RF elements, like our new 3dB, 90° hybrid couplers,” stated Mohammed Abu-Naim, RF Product Supervisor, KYOCERA AVX – North America. “Our new hybrid couplers present clients with space- and cost-saving options for maximizing repeatable, high-frequency RF efficiency in compact and handheld industrial, automotive, telecommunications, and telemetry purposes with excessive energy dealing with and extensive working frequency necessities.”
