Device Overview

General Description

The MPDR-0070CSP2 is a small footprint mmWave MMIC DC-70 GHz 2-Way resistive power divider/power splitter featuring low 1.5 dB insertion loss in our compact CSP2 chip scale package. It is much smaller than a printed PCB Power Divider/Combiner. 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 MPDR-0070CSP2 features front port outputs. The 2.5 mm CSP2 package enables extreme miniaturization of SMT footprint making the MPDR-0070CSP2 ideal for applications prioritizing low SWaP.
