As well as functioning as a power divider, it can also be used as a combiner for very high power non-coherent signals.
The device offers exceptional performance, with an insertion loss of no greater than 1.5dB at any frequency in its range, a typical phase balance of +/-7deg and a maximum amplitude balance of 0.4dB. Maximum VSWR is typically 1.5:1 at all ports, and minimum isolation is specified as 9dB at frequencies below 1GHz and 17dB above 1GHz.
Model 2382-2 has a microwave power handling capability of up to 100W CW under any load condition, rising to 220W CW for a load VSWR of 2:1 and 250W CW for a load VSWR of 1.2:1.
Featuring a rugged construction for excellent long-term reliability, the new power divider weighs just 396g and has overall dimensions of only 88.9 x 63.5 x 25.4mm, excluding the N-type female connectors.
