Isolated Power Dividers 3, 6, 9 & 12 Way

Category: Electronics, RF Microwave Devices, RLC Electronics Inc

Overview

RLC Electronics’ Power Dividers are designed as compact microstrip units that offer a variety of configurations, including 3, 6, 9, and 12-way output ports. These devices offer broad bandwidth and low Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) at all ports, combined with high isolation between all outputs. The power dividers are noted for their excellent phase and amplitude tracking across all outputs.

Specifications

3-Way Power Dividers

Model numbers D-0510-3 through D-12180-3 cover frequency ranges from 0.50 GHz to 18.0 GHz. Specifications include minimum isolation (ISOL) figures reaching up to 22 dB, and VSWR values as low as 1.50 and as high as 2.00. Amplitude balance is within a plus/minus range, with phase balance within specified degrees.

6-Way Power Dividers

Model numbers D-0510-6 through D-12180-6 span similar frequency ranges as the 3-way models. Their specifications regarding ISOL and VSWR are mostly consistent with the figures presented in the 3-way dividers.

9-Way Power Dividers

Model numbers D-0510-9 through D-12180-9 also cover the 0.50 GHz to 18.0 GHz frequency range. Performance specifications such as ISOL start from 10 dB, with VSWR maxing out at 2.00, and phase balance identified by additional degrees.

12-Way Power Dividers

For these models (D-0510-12 through D-12180-12), the ISOL, VSWR, and balance figures slightly vary, but maintain a consistent profile with the other divider configurations. A note to add 0.10 to input VSWR for both 9 & 12-way dividers is indicated.

Additional Characteristics

The power handling capability of the dividers is 10 watts average when the outputs are terminated with a VSWR less than 1.35, or 200mW average for any VSWR and phase. All models maintain a 50 ohms impedance and are designed to be compatible with MIL-E-5400, Class 1A environments.
