How to Choose 6dB, 10dB, 15dB, or 20dB Couplers
Nov , 29 2025
One of the questions we hear most often from engineers is: “Should I use a 6dB, 10dB, 15dB, or 20dB coupler — and what’s the real difference in coverage?” On paper, these numbers look like simple coupling values. But from more than two decades of manufacturing RF passive components, we know something very clearly: Choosing the wrong coupling value can break your coverage balance, distort the ...

What's the Difference Between a Combiner and a Hybrid?
Dec , 06 2025
In RF system design and engineering projects, "Combiner" and "Hybrid Coupler (or Hybrid Combiner)" are often mentioned, but they are not the same. Their applications and performance characteristics differ significantly. Basic Concepts and Technical Differences Hybrid Coupler (Hybrid Combiner) is typically a four-port device based on coupled lines, transmission line theory, or branch-line / ring st...

Mastering RF Distribution: A Comprehensive Guide to Power Splitters and High-Performance Solutions
Dec , 20 2025
In modern wireless communication systems—ranging from 5G In-Building Solutions (IBS) to advanced satellite networks—the Power Splitter (Power Divider) serves as the critical "traffic hub" for RF signals. Whether distributing a signal to multiple antennas or combining signals in a laboratory environment, choosing the right splitter is paramount to system integrity. 1. What Does a Power Splitter Do?...

Top 10 RF Passive Components for Reliable Wireless Communication
Dec , 27 2025
In every reliable wireless network — whether it’s a DAS inside a hospital, a 5G macro site, or a public safety system — performance does not start with software. It starts with RF passive components. From our perspective as a manufacturer, most network issues we see in the field are not caused by active equipment failure. They are caused by mismatched, underrated, or poorly selected passive compon...
