JH-6-4-N

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The MACOM JH-6-4-N is a quadrature hybrid coupler designed for RF applications operating within the 2 to 32 MHz frequency range. This component provides precise phase separation with a nominal 90-degree phase difference between output ports. Key electrical specifications include an insertion loss of 0.8 dB, isolation of 20 dB, and a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.2:1. The device features a physical footprint measuring 2.5 inches in length by 1.25 inches in width, suitable for integration into systems requiring stable quadrature signal distribution at lower RF frequencies.

RF Directional Couplers Feature Summary

• Provides 90-degree phase shift for quadrature signal generation
• Operates effectively across the 2–32 MHz frequency band
• Maintains low insertion loss and high isolation performance

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• RF signal splitting and combining networks
• Quadrature modulation and demodulation circuits
• Balanced mixer local oscillator feeds

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm connector type or package configuration. Ensure the intended application frequency aligns with the 2–32 MHz operational range. Cross-reference part numbers such as JH-6-4-BNC or JH-6-4-SMA if different interface requirements are needed. Confirm mechanical dimensions match the system layout constraints prior to procurement.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband quadrature hybrid is required for frequencies up to 32 MHz. Consider the 0.8 dB insertion loss and 20 dB isolation metrics for system budget calculations. Evaluate the physical size of 2.5 x 1.25 inches against available board space. Compare alternative suffixes like BNC or SMA if specific connector interfaces are mandated by the design.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

The JH-6-4 series from MACOM Technology Solutions includes various configurations of quadrature hybrids tailored for RF systems. The JH-6-4-N represents a specific variant within this family, distinguished by its interface or packaging details. It shares core electrical characteristics with other series members, such as the JH-6-4-BNC, while differing in physical connection types. This series supports applications demanding reliable phase accuracy in lower frequency RF environments.

RF Directional Couplers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other MACOM JH-6-4 variants with different connectors, such as JH-6-4-BNC or JH-6-4-SMA, provided the interface change is acceptable. Verify that any replacement maintains the 2–32 MHz frequency range and similar electrical specs like 90-degree phase shift and 0.8 dB insertion loss.
