18.3 SKEWED HYBRID MODULE
The RFL 9780 Skewed Hybrid Module 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.
