Device Overview

General Description

The MPDR-00110M2 is a mmWave 2-way resistive power divider in our connectorized miniature M2-package enabling operation from DC to 110 GHz. Passive GaAs MMIC technology allows production of smaller constructions that replace larger form factor circuit board constructions. Tight fabrication tolerances result in less unit-to-unit variation than traditional power divider technologies, allowing for accurate simulations using the provided S3P file taken from measured production units. Resistive power dividers are not recommended for use as power combiners due to the lack of isolation. The MPDR-00110M2 is available as a 1.0mm connectorized module.
