AM4900-5900PD4-851

Overview

The AM4900-5900PD4-851 is an RF power divider manufactured by Anatech Microwave Company. It operates within a frequency range of 4.9 GHz to 5.9 GHz. The component provides four-way power division functionality. Key electrical specifications include a minimum isolation of 20 dB and a maximum voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.35. The unit is housed in a module package with physical dimensions of 3.350 inches in length, 2.010 inches in width, and 0.770 inches in height.

Feature Summary

• Provides four-way signal distribution across the specified microwave frequency band
• Ensures signal integrity through controlled impedance matching characterized by low VSWR
• Maintains port-to-port isolation to minimize signal interference between output channels

Applications

• Wireless communication systems requiring signal splitting
• Defense electronic systems utilizing microwave frequencies
• RF test and measurement setups needing precise power division

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm exact electrical tolerances and connector types. Ensure the required isolation and VSWR specifications align with system design requirements before finalizing procurement. Confirm physical mounting constraints match the module dimensions provided in the official datasheet.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a four-way split is required within the 4.9 GHz to 5.9 GHz operational band. Consider the module form factor for integration into existing chassis or rack systems. Evaluate the 20 dB isolation specification against system crosstalk requirements to ensure adequate signal separation between output ports.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AM4900 series of power dividers from Anatech Microwave Company. The series includes variants such as the AM4900-5900PD4-849, which shares similar frequency characteristics but may differ in VSWR ratings and connector configurations. These components are designed for robust performance in demanding RF environments.

Replacement Considerations

The AM4900-5900PD4-849 is a related model within the same product family. Verify if the slightly different VSWR rating of 1.5 in the alternative part meets system requirements. Check connector compatibility and physical footprint differences before substituting.
