PWD-5522-04-TNC-79

The PWD-5522-04-TNC-79 is a type of RF power divider/splitter, and offers a great solution for a range of applications. It is designed to provide reliable and consistent power splitting in Power Amplifier (PA) and power combiner designs, and is available in one bandwidth with two different insertion loss models. This article will focus on the application fields and working principles of the PWD-5522-04-TNC-79.

Application Field:

The PWD-5522-04-TNC-79 is mainly used in RF applications requiring two to six ports. In PA designs, the divider/splitter is applied in the feedback and input circuits, with two- to three-way splitters being typically employed in the feedback circuit, and four- to six-way splitters being used in the input circuit. In power combining designs, it is used to split and combine the output power of the amplifiers.

In addition, the PWD-5522-04-TNC-79 can be used in wideband networks or systems with multiple radios that demand ultra-low loss. It is also used in a variety of other applications, such as antenna distribution for MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) systems, military, broadcast and cellular communication system links.

Working Principle:

The PWD-5522-04-TNC-79 features a two-layer structure consisting of a microstrip on the top and a metal waveguide on the bottom. The microstrip circuit can be considered as a mismatch circuit, and it works to divide the input signal evenly into a specified number of ports. This is done by using microstrip-to-waveguide transition to match the impedance from the input to the output.

The PWD-5522-04-TNC-79 also employs a symmetrical design for a better power handling capability with an upper limit of 120 watt average and 2 kW peak power. The working frequency range of the divider/splitter is from 2300 MHz to 2700 MHz, and it supports a number of additional features such as wide tuning range, high isolation, low insertion loss, and fast settling time.

Conclusion:

The PWD-5522-04-TNC-79 RF power divider/splitter provides an excellent solution for a variety of applications, from PA designs to antenna distributions. It offers reliable and consistent power splitting, with an upper limit of 120 watt average and 2 kW peak power. Furthermore, it also features a two-layer structure with microstrip circuit, symmetrical design, wide tuning range, high isolation, low insertion loss, and fast settling time. In conclusion, the PWD-5522-04-TNC-79 is an ideal power divider/splitter for a range of RF applications.
