Abstract-A new high isolation lumped-element 180 • hybrid, using electronically adjustable filters with varactor diodes, are proposed. This design is very simple and based on only two configurable low order (N = 2) filters. Due to the limited tuning frequency range of varactor diodes, maximum near-octave frequency coverage of 2.5-5 GHz was planned in the high isolation hybrid. An impressive simulated typical isolation in the range of > 60 dB was achieved. One of the typical applications of developed hybrids could be the conversion of 70 MHz IF to microwave frequencies, with broadband mixers in single-conversion converters and very high LO rejection (> 60 dB).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
