PDW07691-T

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The PDW07691-T is a two-way Wilkinson power divider designed for the 18 GHz to 20 GHz frequency range. It features a minimum isolation of 15 dB and a return loss of 15 dB, with a maximum imbalance of 5 degrees. The component utilizes Knowles Dielectric Labs' low-loss, high-dielectric-constant materials to ensure compact size and thermal stability. It integrates thin-film precision resistors, supporting both surface mount and wire bond assembly methods.
