PDW06407

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The PDW06407 is a two-way Wilkinson power divider manufactured by Knowles Dielectric Labs, designed for radio frequency applications. It operates within a frequency range of 2 GHz to 18 GHz. The device features typical isolation of 25 dB and return loss of 18 dB, with maximum phase imbalance of 5 degrees. Insertion loss is specified at 2.5 dB. Constructed using low-loss, high-dielectric-constant materials, it integrates thin-film precision resistors suitable for surface mount and wire bond assembly.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Utilizes low-loss, temperature-stable dielectric materials for minimal performance variation across operating temperatures.
• Integrates thin-film precision resistors directly into the structure, eliminating the need for external components.
• Provides high isolation and excellent amplitude and phase balance across the operational bandwidth.
• Compact surface-mount package design facilitates easy integration into space-constrained circuit boards.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• Signal separation or combination in RF systems requiring high-quality signal integrity
• Broadband communication equipment operating within microwave frequency ranges
• Test and measurement instrumentation requiring precise power division

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm exact electrical tolerances and package variations. Ensure compatibility with surface mount or wire bond assembly processes as defined in the datasheet. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required for your manufacturing environment. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor listings to validate authenticity and current production status before finalizing procurement orders.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when broadband operation from 2 GHz to 18 GHz is required with minimal insertion loss. Consider its compact form factor for designs where board space is limited. Evaluate the 2.5 dB insertion loss and 25 dB isolation specifications against system link budget requirements. Ensure the application supports the thermal characteristics provided by the DLI dielectric materials for stable performance over temperature.
