EP3-19+

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The EP3-19+ is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) 3-way power splitter and combiner designed for wideband operation from 15 to 25 GHz. It features a 0-degree phase split architecture with a 50 Ohm impedance. Key electrical specifications include a minimum isolation of 12 dB, a maximum imbalance of 8 degrees, and a typical voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.2. The component is housed in a compact 16-lead QFN package with an exposed pad.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Provides equal power division across three output ports with zero-degree phase alignment
• Operates as both a power splitter and combiner within the specified frequency range
• Utilizes MMIC technology for consistent performance and reliability

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• Wideband RF signal distribution networks
• Phased array antenna feed systems
• Modular test and measurement setups requiring signal splitting

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and revision history prior to ordering, as Mini-Circuits may update electrical characteristics or mechanical drawings over time. Confirm that the 16-VQFN exposed pad configuration matches your PCB layout requirements. Ensure that the operating environment remains within the specified temperature range and voltage limits defined in the official documentation to maintain performance integrity.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3-way split is required at frequencies between 15 and 25 GHz. Consider the 12 dB minimum isolation and 8-degree max imbalance if port-to-port coupling or phase accuracy is critical. Evaluate the 16-VQFN footprint against available board space. Compare against other splitters if different split ratios or frequency bands are needed.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This device belongs to Mini-Circuits' portfolio of MMIC power splitters and combiners. These components are engineered for high-reliability applications in the microwave spectrum. The EP3-19+ specifically addresses needs for multi-channel signal distribution where size and broadband performance are prioritized over discrete component solutions.
