ZABT-2R15G+

Overview

The Mini-Circuits ZABT-2R15G+ is a wideband bias-tee/diplexer designed for satellite and RF applications. It covers 10 to 2150MHz, with specific diplexer functionality at 10MHz and 950-2150MHz. The device integrates a DC Bias-Tee and an integrated 10 MHz diplexer without additional components. Key electrical parameters include a maximum voltage of 25 V, maximum current of 3 A, and power handling of 30 dBm. Insertion loss ranges from 0.4 dB typical in the 950-2150 MHz band to 0.5 to 1.5 dB across the wider range.

Feature Summary

• Combines solid bias tee performance with additional functionality to inject 10 MHz reference clock without additional components
• Designed specifically for satellite communications and wireless infrastructure applications
• Features low RF insertion loss for efficient signal transmission

Applications

• Satellite communications systems
• Wireless infrastructure applications
• RF test and measurement setups requiring combined bias and reference injection

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required frequency range includes both the 10 MHz reference and the 950-2150 MHz RF band. Confirm connector type compatibility (SMA) and ensure the system voltage does not exceed 25 V or current exceeds 3 A. Check datasheet for precise insertion loss requirements at your operating frequency.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single unit must provide both DC biasing and 10 MHz reference injection. It is suitable for applications requiring low insertion loss in the 950-2150 MHz range. Consider the 30 dBm power handling limit and 25 V/3 A DC limits during design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Mini-Circuits ZABT series of bias tees. It differs from similar models like the Z3BT-2R15G+ by its specific integration of a 10 MHz diplexer and lower insertion loss characteristics in the C-band and above. It is distinct from standard bias tees that do not offer reference clock injection.
