Rat Race Divider Runs At 10 GHz

June 30, 2007

International Manufacturing Services (IMS) has produced a thick-film, surface-mount-technology (SMT) two-way rat-race power divider with 180-deg. outputs. Model IMD2417 is designed for use at 10 GHz with a 20 percent bandwidth exhibiting less than 0.5-dB insertion loss. The rat-race divider, which measures just 0.322 x 0.354 in., can handle power levels to 20 W. For more information, visit the IMS website at: www.ims-resistors.com
