Device Overview
General Description
4-Way Wilkinson power dividers can be used for both in-phase power splitting and power combining applications. These power dividers are realized as a cascade of two 1:2 Wilkinson power dividers integrated into a single package. 4-Way Wilkinson power dividers feature the lowest insertion loss (ideally 4 dB 4-way splitting loss), excellent amplitude and phase balance, and high isolation across the entire operating band.
Features
- 2 to 18 GHz In-phase Power Splitting
- Outstanding Output to Output Isolation
- Outstanding Phase and Amplitude Balance
