RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PWD-5515-02-SMA-79, as product descriptions may vary between 2 GHz-8 GHz and 8 GHz-12.4 GHz variants. Confirm that the required operating frequency aligns with the 8 GHz to 12.4 GHz specification. Ensure compatibility with MIL-DTL-3933 standards if military grade qualification is necessary for the application environment.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when a two-way power split is required specifically within the 8 GHz to 12.4 GHz band. The Wilkinson-I design offers reliable power division characteristics. Consider the 1.5 dB insertion loss and 18 dB isolation metrics for system budget calculations. Verify physical dimensions against available space constraints.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to the PWD-55 series of RF power dividers from Midwest Microwave. The series includes various models covering different frequency ranges, such as 2 GHz to 8 GHz and 2 GHz to 18 GHz. The PWD-5515-02-SMA-79 specifically targets higher frequency applications compared to lower-band counterparts in the same family.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

Check for other PWD-55 series variants like PWD-5522-02-SMA-79 or PWD-5530-02-SMA-79 if different frequency coverage is acceptable. Ensure substitute parts maintain the SMA connector type and module form factor for direct mechanical compatibility.
