Device Overview
General Description
The MQH-0920 is a MMIC 9 GHz – 20 GHz quadrature (90°) hybrid. Passive GaAs MMIC technology allows production of smaller constructions that replace larger form factor circuit board constructions. Tight fabrication tolerances allow for less unit to unit variation than traditional quadrature hybrid technologies. The MQH-0920 is available as a wire bondable chip. Low unit to unit variation allows for accurate simulations using the provided S4P file taken from measured production units. Applications include single sideband upconverters, image rejection downconverters, IQ modulators, balanced amplifiers, microwave correlators, and microwave Butler matrices.
Features
- Designed for Ku-band applications
- High amplitude and phase balance
