Power Dividers, Couplers, PCB’s & Test Verification Boards

Synergy Microwave

Power dividers 

Synergy’s high performance power divider (splitter / combiner) models cover the frequency range of up to 16.5 GHz. Model features includes wide bandwidth, moderate and high power perfectly suited for signal splitting and low power combining. REL-PRO® technology footprint (on some models) and can be housed in a small size surface mount or connectorized package. N-way range is from 2-way to 16-way. Synergy can also customize a model according to your specific requirements.  

In Phase: N-way Dividers: These devices deliver output signals in-phase with each other. The most common types are 2-, 4-, 8-, and 16-way dividers. Odd- numbered power division circuits, by design, have a narrower bandwidth. The following table contains number of output and corresponding coupling loss. 

90 Degree (Quadrature) Hybrids These devices split or combine in quadrature (one output signal being 90 degrees out of phase with theother), and have many uses in signal processing. Even though they are reciprocal devices, the same care must be taken in combiner applications as with in-phase combiners. Bandwidth is the most important limitation of the quadrature (“quad”) hybrid. “Crossover” quads have a bandwidth of 10% and can be manufactured to have excellent amplitude and phase balance as well as low loss, high isolation, and good VSWR. They are very useful for processing signal frequencies and their applications are numerous. 

Couplers

Synergy’s high performance coupler models cover the frequency range of up to 15.5 GHz. Couplers are categorized by the low signal level output. A 10 dB directional coupler will provide an output of 10 dB below the input signal level, and a “Main Line” signal level which has very little loss (0.46 dB theoretically).

Model features includes low insertion losss, excellent coupling flatness, high directivity, lead-free RoHs compliant, REL-PRO® technology footprint (on some models) and can be housed in a small size surface mount or connectorized package. Synergy can also customize a model according to your specific requirements. Synergy’s coupler products include wideband, 10% bandwidth, octave and optimized bandwidth for 90° and 180° hybrid products.

Synergy’s line of couplers consist of directional & bidirectional types with frequencies ranging from 10 KHz to 15 GHz. A bidirectional coupler is a 4 port device that produces two unequal amplitude outputs when a signal is fed through the input port and cancels the signal at the reverse coupled port. A directional coupler has the reverse coupled port internally terminated. Couplers are categorized by the low signal level output. A 10 dB directional coupler will provide an output of 10 dB below the input signal level, and a “Main Line” signal level which has very little loss (0.46 dB theoretically). 

RF Transformers

Synergy’s cost effective RF transformer features low loss, small size surface mount and their lead free patented REL-PRO® technology. Synergy can also customize a model according to your specific requirements.
