Power Divider Saves PCB Space

Model PD2425N5050SN from Anaren is a Wilkinson power divider measuring only 0.04 x 0.04 in. yet capable of processing signals from 2400 to 2500 MHz. Ideal for WiMAX and Bluetooth applications, the 50-Ohm divider has maximum insertion loss of 0.46 dB and minimum return loss of 21 dB. The minimum isolation is 20 dB. The RoHS-compliant power divider offers an LGA interface and nonconductive surface and is available in tape-and-reel format for automated assembly operations. According to Mike Lugert, the company's Product Line Manager for Consumer Products in the wireless group, "Anaren has been a power divider innovator for decades. And we're innovating again with these ultra-miniature power dividers designed for consumer devices."
