PWD-5511-T2-NNN-79

RF Power Dividers/Splitters

The PWD-5511-T2-NNN-79 is a type of RF (radio frequency) power divider, also known as a splitter, designed to separately split a single input signal into multiple outputs. The main feature of this device is its low levels of insertion loss and high level of isolation between the input and output signal paths. This type of RF power divider operates across a wide range of frequency, typically from DC (directional coupler) up to 18 GHz with average power of 50 W. It is generally used in multiple-output signal routing applications, such as in digital communications, radar, and other RF systems.

Working Principle

RF power dividers work by allowing a signal from a source to be divided into two or more separate outputs, each at a lesser power than the original signal but with correct phase and amplitude characteristic. The PWD-5511-T2-NNN-79 is an example of a passive splitters which work by transferring energy instead of converting it. On one side of the device is a feed point, which has the electric lead connected to the source signal. Then, power is transferred to the opposing outputs, where the signal is split in two. This distribution effects the output power ratio, with the divider operating as a resistive power splitter.

To ensure that there is no power loss in the system, the divider is configured in such a way that it has the same number of output ports as the input terminal. The outputs are then connected in a way such that the impedance of each output is equal to that of the input. This ensures that the total power is split evenly and that the output power ratio is kept at a constant level. In addition, the signal path is interrupted in order to provide maximum isolation between the input and output signals.

Application Field

The PWD-5511-T2-NNN-79 can be used in a variety of different applications. Most commonly it is used in digital communications, where it can be used to provide a clean and stable signal path for data transmission. It can also be used in radar systems, where it can split a signal into multiple beams to form a more detailed scanning area. Other potential applications include in medical imaging, high frequency power amplification, and USM/ISM band jamming.

The power divider is particularly beneficial in applications where multiple outputs are required. It is often used in high power signals, where power from a single source needs to be distributed to multiple outputs. Compared with other signal routing solutions, the power divider has the advantage of being able to divide a signal without adding extra noise, and it can be used with low as well as high power signals.

Conclusion

Overall, the PWD-5511-T2-NNN-79 is a great example of a RF power divider. It is capable of low insertion loss and high isolation between input and output channels, and it can operate in a wide range of applications such as digital communications and radar systems. Its ability to offer clean and accurate signal routing makes it an ideal choice for many applications.
