RF Power Dividers & Combiners – Reliable Power Splitting and Combining for RF Systems
Ensure balanced signal distribution and efficient power management with our precision-engineered RF power dividers and combiners. Whether you need to split one signal into multiple outputs or combine several signals into one, our components guarantee minimal insertion loss, high isolation, and consistent performance. Ideal for telecom, radar, test setups, and wireless communication systems.
Power dividers and combiners are passive RF components used to either split an input signal into multiple outputs or combine multiple inputs into a single output. These components maintain impedance matching and ensure uniform signal distribution while minimizing loss and interference.
Advantages:
-
Efficient signal splitting and combining
-
Low insertion loss and high isolation
-
Maintains system impedance (typically 50Ω)
-
Compact and rugged design for harsh environments
-
Enhances signal coverage and system scalability
Working:
A power divider splits one input RF signal into two or more output signals with equal or specified power levels. A power combiner does the reverse—merging signals while minimizing reflection and loss. Most designs are based on Wilkinson, resistive, or hybrid coupler architectures.
Uses:
-
Telecom base stations and antenna arrays
-
RF testing and measurement setups
-
Signal routing and switching networks
-
Radar and military communication systems
-
RF distribution and signal processing systems
Strengths:
-
Consistent phase and amplitude balance
-
Available in 2-way, 3-way, 4-way, and higher configurations
-
High power handling capability
-
Wideband frequency operation
-
Ideal for integration in both lab and field environments
