6 Way Power Divider, 18~40GHz, 20W, 2.92mm

The 6-way power divider is a passive component used in RF and microwave systems, capable of evenly splitting a single input microwave signal into six output signals. It serves as an essential foundational element in the construction of modern wireless communication, radar, and testing systems. The following briefly introduces its characteristics and applications:

Characteristics:

The design of this 6-way power divider is aimed at addressing the technical challenges of high-power signal distribution in the millimeter-wave frequency band. Its ultra-wide frequency range of 18~40GHz covers the Ku, K, and parts of the Ka bands, meeting the urgent demand for broadband spectrum resources in modern satellite communications, high-resolution radar, and cutting-edge 5G/6G technologies. Additionally, its average power capacity of up to 20W enables stable application in high-power scenarios, such as within the transmit channels of phased array radars, ensuring system reliability and durability under prolonged high-load operation. Furthermore, the product utilizes 2.92mm (K) type coaxial connectors, which maintain excellent voltage standing wave ratio and low insertion loss even at extremely high frequencies of 40GHz, minimizing signal reflection and energy attenuation to ensure signal transmission integrity and precision.

Applications:

1. Phased array radar system: It is the core of the T/R (transmit/receive) component front-end, responsible for accurately and uniformly feeding signals to hundreds or thousands of antenna units. Its performance directly determines the radar's beam scanning agility, target detection accuracy, and operating range.
2. In the field of satellite communication: Both ground stations and onboard equipment require such devices to efficiently allocate and synthesize uplink and downlink millimeter wave signals to support multi beamforming and high-speed data transmission, ensuring smooth and stable communication links.
3. In the field of testing, measurement, and research and development, it can serve as a key component for MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems and aerospace electronic equipment testing platforms, providing reliable testing support for researchers and high-frequency circuit designers.
