RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the SMA connector configuration and the 2-18 GHz operational range. Confirm compliance requirements regarding RoHS status, as this component does not meet RoHS specifications. Ensure the receiving facility can accommodate the specified module dimensions and weight. Cross-reference the MIL-DTL-3933 standard against project documentation to validate acceptance criteria before finalizing procurement.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when an eight-way split is required across the 2-18 GHz spectrum. The 15 dB isolation specification is critical for applications demanding minimal signal coupling between channels. Consider the physical footprint constraints due to the 4.6-inch length. This model is suitable for environments where Wilkinson topology offers the necessary amplitude balance and phase coherence compared to other divider types.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This device belongs to the PWD-55 series of microwave power dividers. It shares design characteristics with other models in the lineup but is distinct due to its eight-port configuration and specific SMA interface. The product line emphasizes high-reliability performance for defense and aerospace applications, adhering to strict military standards for environmental and electrical robustness.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

PWD-5532-03-SMA-79 is a documented alternative within the same family. Verify port count and frequency overlap before substitution.
