Two-way microwave power divider delivers high performance over 500 MHz to 6 GHz
Manufactured by Narda Microwave, the Model 2382-2 power divider operates over microwave frequencies from 500 MHz to 6 GHz and can handle an input power of up to 250-W CW or 2-kW peak. 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 ±7 degrees and a maximum amplitude balance of 0.4 dB. Maximum VSWR is typically 1.5:1 at all ports, and minimum isolation is specified as 9dB at frequencies below 1 GHz and 17 dB above 1 GHz.
Model 2382-2 has a microwave power handling capability of up to 100-W CW under any load condition, rising to 220-W CW for a load VSWR of 2:1 and 250-W CW for a load VSWR of 1.2:1.
Featuring a rugged construction for excellent long-term reliability, the new power divider weighs just 396 grams and has overall dimensions of only 88.9- x 63.5- x 25.4-mm, excluding the N-type female connectors.
