2 Way Power Divider, 1~18GHz, 20W, SMA

A 2 way power divider is a fundamental and essential passive microwave device. Its primary function is to evenly (ideally) divide an input signal into two output signals with consistent phase and equal amplitude, effectively "splitting the power in half." Conversely, when the signal flow is reversed, it can also serve as a combiner, merging two signals into one.

Features:

1. Ultra wideband coverage (1-18GHz): It covers a wide frequency range of L, S, C, X, Ku, and even some K bands at once, greatly simplifying broadband system design, reducing the number of devices, and improving system integration and reliability.
2. High power capacity (20W CW): Can withstand up to 20 watts of continuous wave power, ensuring stable operation in high-power transmission scenarios, without fear of power burnout risks, and meeting high-performance application requirements such as radar and electronic countermeasures.
3. Excellent electrical performance: Adopting precise design and balanced structure, it has low insertion loss, high isolation, and good port standing wave ratio throughout the entire frequency band. This means that the signal allocation efficiency is higher, the mutual interference between output ports is smaller, and the overall system performance is better.
4. Sturdy interface and craftsmanship (SMA): SMA (Female Head) connectors are standard across the entire range, with strong compatibility and stable and reliable connections. Adopting a fully enclosed metal shell, it has good shielding and mechanical strength, and is suitable for complex industrial environments.

Applications:

1. Testing and measurement: As the core of signal distribution in broadband vector network analyzers and other equipment, it is used for multi-channel parallel testing, greatly improving the efficiency of research and development and production testing.
2. Phased array radar system: Provides precise reference signal allocation for hundreds of T/R modules, which is the foundation for ensuring beamforming accuracy.
3. Satellite communication and electronic warfare (EW): Implementing multi-channel parallel processing and analysis of signals in broadband receiving and signal detection systems.
4. Multi carrier communication base station: As a combiner, it efficiently combines different carrier signals to optimize the performance of the base station transmitter.
