OMT (Ortho Mode Transducer).

(1/3)

NEC has developed the Ortho-Mode Transducer (OMT)

over the full range of microwave frequencies for Wave
Guide interface of PASOLINK Series digital microwave
radio point-to point fixed wireless systems.
The OMT comprises the Ortho-Mode transducer, antenna
interface and radio mounting interfaces.

4.

The two independent RF signals received by dual polarized

antenna are separated and sent to two outdoor units (ODUs)
through the OMT for 2+0 systems.

5.

The OMT enables the dual polarization feature to double

the transmission capacity for the PASOLINK system.

6.

The NEC OMT has a Wave Guide connection type for

13-38GHz Bands, which is suited for RFS Antenna and all
NEC ODUs.

(1/4)

13 38 GHz Hybrid

NEC has developed the Hybrid Combiner/Divider over the full range of microwave frequencies for the
PASOLINK Series digital microwave radio point-to-point fixed wireless systems.
This Hybrid Combiner/Divider comprises a directional coupler, antenna interface, radio mounting interfaces and
polarizer.
The RF signal power received by the single polarized antenna is equally distributed and sent to two outdoor units
through the Hybrid Combiner/Divider for 1+1 protected systems.
There are two types of NEC Hybrid Combiner/Divider, one is a coaxial cable connection type for 6/7/8GHz
Bands and the other is WG connection type for 13-38GHz Bands.
NEC Hybrid Combiner/Divider is suited for Andrew, RFS, or PAL Antenna, and all NEC ODUs.
