6 dB Power Divider, 50 GHz
PSPL5350 Datasheet
The PSPL5350 6 dB Power Divider provides excellent amplitude
and phase performance power division from DC to frequencies over
40 GHz. The outputs are nominally attenuated by 6 dB. All ports are
impedance matched to 50Ω when both outputs are terminated in
50Ω. Power dividers are built using a three-resistor network. The
resistors have 1% tolerances, resulting in precise 50Ω impedance
matches at any port. This divider is engineered to provide excellent
amplitude and phase symmetry throughout the operating range,
regardless of port selection. Maximum division symmetry is obtained
when port 1 is used as input, with ports 2 and 3 providing the divided
signal output.
