General Description

The MPD2-00001PSM is a small footprint MMIC 0.4-4 GHz 2-Way Wilkinson power divider/power splitter featuring high 16 dB isolation and low 0.9 dB insertion loss in our compact DFN package. It is much smaller than a printed PCB Wilkinson Power Divider/Combiner. It can be used as an equal amplitude/phase power splitter or a power combiner with excellent isolation. 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. The 1.3 x 2mm DFN package enables extreme miniaturization of SMT footprint making the MPD2-00001PSM ideal for applications prioritizing low SWaP.
