A completely new range of microwave power dividers from Atlantic Microwave Ltd comprehensively covers the 0.5 to 18 GHz frequency range in octave and multi-octave designs.

In a choice of either 2, 4 or 8 way, the dividers, which also function as combiners, are housed in ultra-slim packages of just 10 mm thickness with SMA female connectors.

As an example, a 2 – 4 GHz, four way divider features isolation of 22 dB min, insertion loss of 0.4 dB max and a forward power handling capability of 20 watts. Amplitude balance is 0.3dB max and phase balance 3 deg. max. While both input and output VSWR are 1:2:1 max at 50 ohms impedance.

The aluminium housing and -55 +85 C operating temperature range make the dividers suitable for a wide range of applications in communications, radar, test and measurement.
