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.
Hybrids divide the input power into two (not necessarily equal) parts with identical polarization
Orthomode transducers separatehorizontal and vertical polarizations
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.
