FMDV2104

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The FMDV2104 is a two-way power divider manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for signal conditioning applications within the radio frequency spectrum. This component operates across a frequency range of 2 GHz to 4 GHz and utilizes SMA interfaces for connectivity. It is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 30 Watts, ensuring reliable performance in high-power transmission environments. The device features an isolation specification of at least 20 dB between output ports, with a maximum imbalance of 2 degrees and a maximum voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.25. These electrical characteristics define its suitability for precise signal distribution tasks.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Provides equal power splitting across two output ports within the specified frequency band
• Maintains high port isolation to minimize signal interference between channels
• Supports continuous wave power levels up to 30 Watts for robust operation

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• RF signal distribution in communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment requiring precise power splitting
• Antenna array feed networks

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify that the SMA connector gender and interface type match the system requirements. Confirm the operating frequency range aligns with the 2 GHz to 4 GHz specification. Ensure the power rating of 30 Watts exceeds the maximum expected input power to prevent damage. Check for any specific mounting or environmental constraints required by the application design.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when a two-way split is required within the 2-4 GHz band. Consider the 30 Watt power rating for high-power applications. Evaluate the 20 dB isolation and 1.25 VSWR specifications against system loss budgets. Compare with other models if different frequency ranges or connector types are needed.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

Fairview Microwave produces various RF components including power dividers, cables, and terminations. The FMDV2104 belongs to their signal conditioning product line, specifically focusing on passive RF devices. It complements other products like the FMDV2105, which covers higher frequencies from 6 GHz to 18 GHz, offering a broader solution set for diverse RF engineering needs.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

The FMDV2105 serves as a related model but operates in a different frequency range (6-18 GHz). Direct substitution requires verifying frequency compatibility. No other specific substitute part numbers are publicly confirmed for direct replacement.
