Power Divider Goes Eight Ways

Jan. 4, 2013

An eight-way ferrite power divider handles as much as 2 W input power from 20 to 3000 MHz.

Model DL82030 is an eight-way power divider designed for applications from 20 to 3000 MHz. The ferrite power divider exhibits maximum insertion loss of 4.5 dB with minimum isolation of 18 dB between ports. The maximum input/output VSWR is 1.50:1. It is designed to handle maximum input power of 2 W while maintaining amplitude balance of ±0.4 dB and phase balance of ±4 deg. The power divider is supplied with SMA connectors. It is designed for an operating temperature range of -40 to +70°C.
