Broadband model PS8-53-454/4S is an eight-way power divider designed for use from 10 to 40 GHz. It handles as much as 30 W input power with 2.5 dB or less insertion loss and at least 12-dB isolation between channels. The power divider exhibits a VSWR of 1.90:1 or better. The worst-case amplitude balance among signal paths is ±0.8 dB, while the phase balance is 12 deg. The RoHS-compliant power divider, which is supplied with female 2.92-mm coaxial connectors, measures 4.00 × 2.00 × 0.40 in.
