Two-Way MLDD Power Divider Covers 7.125 to 15.35 GHz
Addressing the needs of applications such as emerging mmWave and 6G products, KRYTAR recently released a two-way power divider that offers high performance in a compact package.
The Model 607125-135 covers the broadband frequency range from 7.125 to 15.35 GHz with 20-dB isolation and ±0.3 dB of maximum amplitude plus a phase tracking of ±5 degrees. Units with tighter amplitude and phase-tracking specifications are available.
The two-way divider exhibits an insertion loss of 1.0 dB with a maximum VSWR of 1.5. It has an input power rating of 10 W with 2:1 load voltage standing-wave ratios (VSWRs).
The device is part of an assortment of matched-line directional dividers (MLDDs) offering ultra-high performance over a broadband frequency range. KRYTAR MLDD 2-way power dividers represent a new class of patented directional devices. The Model 607125-135 power divider measures 2.25 (L) × 1.00 (W) × 0.52 in. (H), weighs 2 oz., and comes with standard 3.5-mm coaxial female connectors.
Targeting broadband electronic-warfare (EW) systems and complex switch-matrix applications, the KRYTAR line of power dividers offers solutions not only for mmWave and 6G, but 5G NR (New Radio), Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E, satcom, radar, MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output) radio links, signal monitoring and measurement, antenna beamforming, and EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) testing environments.
The directional coupler can also be manufactured to meet rigid military specifications. A data sheet with specifications and package outline drawing is available via the company’s website.
