SKEWED HYBRID I/O
The RFL 9785 Skewed Hybrid I/O uses two hybrid transformers to connect a transmitter and receiver
to a single line tuning port. The Skewed Hybrid provides a high degree of signal separation by
isolating the local transmitter signal from the local received signal and preventing the input impedance
of the receiver from loading the transmitter. The impedance characteristics of the two types of
Skewed-Hybrid modules is shown in the table below.
