R&D Microwaves LLC has developed a line of unequal power dividers for applications through 2.7 GHz. Based on a patented airline structure, the components maintain a fixed split ratio (with available split ratios from 1:3 to 1:1000 or coupling factors of 6 to 30 dB) over the frequency range of 380 to 2700 MHz. Dissipative loss is only 0.17 dB at 2700 MHz. The rugged dividers handle 300 W average power and 3 kW peak power across the frequency range with VSWR of less than 1.45:1 for units with split ratio of 1:3 and less than 1.20:1 for units with split ratio of 1:1000. The unequal dividers measure 1 x 1 inch (24.5 x 24.5 mm) and weigh 0.75 lb (0.34 kg). For more information, visit the R&D Microwaves LLC website at: http://www.rdmicrowaves.com/
