RF Power Dividers/Splitters are components used in 2, 4, and 8-wire distribution systems, mostly used for wireless communications applications. They typically split the signal into two, three, four, or eight equal parts with minimal losses. With their small size and low power handling capabilities, they are ideal for use in high-density applications.RF Power Dividers are available in several formats, including waveguide, coaxial, and twister line. The waveguide format provides excellent performance in the frequency range of 10MHz to 100GHz due to its inherently shielded design and low losses. Coaxial power dividers are very common and offer good performance up to 6GHz and non-destructive signal power handling. On the other hand, twister line power dividers offer excellent performance up to 18GHz, but are relatively more complex to design than their coaxial and waveguide counterparts. All three formats are widely used in the telecommunications, military, and space industries.

The working principle of a RF Power Divider is similar for all formats: when a signal is applied, the divider splits it into its component signals with equal power, precision, and proportionality. A power divider is typically designed as a "T" or splitter, with all signals travelling in the same direction; however, a "PI" format exists, which enables the splitting of signals in different directions. In its simplest form, a RF Power Divider is a passive device, but more sophisticated designs can include active components. This enables a higher precision of the divided signal, as well as the ability to modify the phase and amplitude in each of the divided signals.

The main application field of RF Power Dividers is antenna and radiating system design, where antenna arrays can be formed using multiple power dividers and individual elements that can be configured for covering a specific frequency band. In this type of application, the power dividers are used to combine signals from multiple antennas to create an array with the desired radiation pattern, while maintaining the equal power and phase characteristics of the individual elements within the array. The use of power dividers is also necessary with biomedical applications, such as radar systems where it is required to combine multiple transmit and receive antennas.

RF Power Dividers are also used in other RF systems such as receivers, remote control systems, digital communication systems, and radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers. In these application fields, power dividers are used to separate single signals into multiple signals, each with equal power and phase fidelity. This is often used to increase the signal-to-noise ratio, as well as to split and share the signals from a single source between multiple elements. The use of power dividers in RF power amplifiers is particularly advantageous as it allows multiple transistors to share the same signal with precise gain control.

RF Power Dividers are essential components for a variety of telecommunications applications, and are available in a wide range of formats to match the needs of the most challenging circuits. With the ability to share, separate, and combine signals with low insertion loss and high levels of precision, power dividers are a key component in any RF system.
