QUAD HYBRID
REV: 004, 10/17/07
QHDZ-2N-0.392G
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
• 350 - 435 MHz
• LOW LOSS
• HIGH ISOLATION
• EXCELLENT PHASE/AMPLITUDE BALANCE
• HIGH POWER HANDLING
• SURFACE MOUNT
RoHS Compliant
The QHDZ-2N-0.392G series is a member of the Multi-Mix QHDZ family of 3-dB 90° couplers for use in
the 350-435 MHz range. The QHDZ-2N-0.392G exhibits low insertion loss, low VSWR, and high isola-
tion. Excellent phase and amplitude balance and high RF power handling capability make this series
ideal for use in base station power amplifiers in particular and radio transceivers, receiver/antenna multi-
couplers and RF signal distribution and processing equipment in general.
The construction of QHDZ quad hybrids is based on fusion bonded multiplayer stripline structures. The
fusion bonding process yields homogeneous monolithic dielectric structures with reliability, ruggedness,
and electrical and thermal performance that are superior to conventional adhesive bonding techniques.
