Product Overview
The Mini-Circuits ZC4PD-18 is a DC pass, power splitter/combiner designed to operate within the frequency range of 1000 to 1800 MHz. It’s suitable for applications requiring a wideband response such as GPS communication systems. Notable for its high isolation of 32 dB (typical) and good Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.10:1 (typical), it supports up to 10W power input as a splitter with internal dissipation limited to 0.375W. The device’s maximum ratings include an operating temperature of 55°C to 100°C, storage temperature from 55°C to 100°C, and DC current of 1.0A (with 250mA for each port).
Features and Applications
Designed in case style 2184 with SMA connectors, the ZC4PD-18 is characterized by its robustness for both splitting and combining RF signals in various system configurations. Its robust features enable its use in sophisticated communication systems where a broad frequency response and high isolation are critical.
