Device Overview
General Description
The MQH-0516PSM is a reciprocal MMIC 5-16 GHz quadrature (90°) hybrid which exhibits excellent amplitude balance with broadband quadrature phasing between output ports. The MQH-0516PSM is a reciprocal device, allowing any port to be used as the input without performance degradation. Passive GaAs MMIC technology allows production of smaller constructions that replace larger form factor circuit board constructions. Applications include single sideband upconverters, image rejection downconverters, IQ modulators, balanced amplifiers, microwave correlators, and microwave Butler matrices.
Features
- Fully reciprocal input ports
