PE20DV1188

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The Pasternack PE20DV1188 is an eight-way SMA power divider designed for signal conditioning applications within the 4 GHz to 8 GHz frequency range. Rated at 30 Watts, this component maintains a 50 Ohm impedance system. It features an insertion loss of 0.7 dB and provides a minimum isolation of 18 dB between output ports. The unit exhibits a maximum VSWR of 1.5 and a port-to-port imbalance of 4 degrees. Constructed with SMA connectors, it supports cable installation and operates reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Provides equal signal splitting across eight output ports
• Maintains consistent phase balance and low insertion loss
• Ensures high isolation between individual output channels

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• Multi-channel RF test and measurement setups
• Phased array antenna feed networks
• Signal distribution in communication infrastructure

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific SMA connector gender and cable length requirements against the official datasheet before ordering. Confirm that the 30-watt power rating aligns with your system's peak power levels. Ensure the operating frequency falls strictly within the 4 GHz to 8 GHz specification. Check for any environmental certifications required for your deployment zone. Validate that the physical dimensions fit your enclosure constraints.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this model when an eight-way split is required in the C-band or lower S-band frequencies. Consider the 0.7 dB insertion loss impact on overall system gain. Evaluate the 18 dB isolation for potential crosstalk sensitivity in dense layouts. Compare the SMA interface against existing system connector standards. Assess the thermal management needs given the 30-watt power handling capability.
