GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HPF3F is a high performance 3dB hybrid coupler in a surface mount package. This low profile coupler handles up
to 80 watts of CW power. The HPF3F is designed for those demanding applications where low loss, excellent amplitude
and phase balance are required.
The HPF3F is manufactured with materials that have thermal expansion characteristics compatible with industry
standard board materials like RO3003, RO4350, FR4 and others. The couplers are available in a RoHS compliant finish
and packaged in both reel and tube.
