Device Overview

General Description

The PD-0020 is a resistive 2-way power divider that features broadband operation from DC to 20 GHz. Resistive power dividers offer 6 dB nominal insertion loss and excellent amplitude and phase balance. Resistive power dividers are not recommended for use as a power combiner due to the lack of isolation.
