Power Divider Spans 12 to 18 GHz

March 10, 2015
A line of broadband power dividers includes model with low loss for applications from 12 to 18 GHz.
Model 2PA1500 is an example of a line of broadband two-way power dividers covering a total frequency range of 0.5 to 18.0 GHz. As an example, model 2PA1500 is a compact two-way coaxial power divider for applications from 12 to 18 GHz. It achieves insertion loss of 0.6 dB or less across that range, with input/output VSWR of 1.501 or less and at least 17-dB isolation. The power divider, which handles maximum input power to 10 W, holds amplitude imbalance to ±0.2 dB and phase imbalance to within ±5 deg. across the full frequency range. The power divider, which measures 1.0 × 1.0 × 0.5 in. less connectors, is supplied with female SMA connectors on all three ports. All of the firm’s power dividers are constructed of materials selected for target PIM of -140 dBc or better. The company also offers custom power dividers, designed and manufactured to specific requirements, with no minimum order.
