Hybrids and orthomode transducers

Hybrids and orthomode transducers are 3-port microwave wave-guide systems that split the input power into two parts, consequently, allow the simultaneous operation of two outdoor radio units (ODUs). Since the devices provide high inter-port isolation and low return loss, their application together with high perform-ance antennas lead to use of two independent transmission channels on a single antenna at the same time.

Combination of hybrids and orthomode transducers lead to many-radio systems, the real no-compromise solutions for mission critical applications.

Accessories

Besides antennas and couplers, several types of accessories are available, such as coaxial-waveguide adapters, cables, wave-guide bends, transitions, and many other components to make system integration easier and simpler.
