Rectangular Magic Tees & Hybrids

M.E.C. offers a superior line of well-matched, broadband, 4-port hybrid magic tees (100 Series) and 3-port tees (100-E and 100-H Series). These units can also be supplied with an integral medium power termination on the E arm (100-L Series).  The 3-port tees may be used in power dividing networks or as combiners of high power tube outputs.

The magic tee hybrid offers high isolation. Common applications of the magic tee hybrid include balanced mixer operations and connecting a transmitter and receiver to a pair of fore and aft antennas on an aircraft.  All units are aluminum with chromate conversion finish.  Paint is gray epoxy enamel.
