QCV-211+

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The Mini-Circuits QCV-211+ is a two-way LTCC power splitter designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of 130 MHz to 210 MHz, centered at 170 MHz with an 80 MHz bandwidth. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes SMD/SMT termination in a compact 1210 (3225 metric) package. Key electrical specifications include a maximum insertion loss of 0.8 dB, minimum isolation of 18 dB, maximum VSWR of 1.6, and phase imbalance of 6 degrees. It supports surface board mounting and functions across a temperature range of -55°C to +100°C.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Utilizes Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology for reliable performance
• Provides 90-degree hybrid splitting functionality for two-way power distribution
• Designed for high isolation and low insertion loss in RF signal paths

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• RF signal distribution networks

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and RoHS compliance details directly with Mini-Circuits before integration. Confirm that the 1210 footprint matches the target PCB layout constraints. Ensure thermal management strategies account for the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to +100°C during system design validation.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, broadband 90-degree split is required between 130 MHz and 210 MHz. The LTCC construction offers stability compared to other technologies. Consider the 1210 package size for space-constrained designs requiring surface mount assembly without sacrificing RF performance metrics like isolation and VSWR.
