Description

The PD18-73/PD18-73LF are monolithic, two-way in-phase hybrid

junction power splitter/combiners for the 1.71 to 1.99 GHz band.

Either device offers low loss, high isolation, good input/output

matching, and exceptional phase/amplitude balance.

A functional block diagram is shown in Figure 1. The pin

configuration and package are shown in Figure 2. Signal pin

assignments and functional pin descriptions are provided in

Table 1.

Operating temperature TOP –40 +85 °C

Storage temperature TSTG –65 +150 °C

Note 1: Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may reduce device reliability. There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other

parameters set at or below their nominal value. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device.

Note 2: When used as a power divider with a 2.0:1 maximum VSWR on all ports.

Note 3: When used as a power combiner with a 2.0:1 maximum VSWR on all ports.

CAUTION: Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage this device. This device

must be protected at all times from ESD. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body

or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions should be used at all times.
