Fairview Microwave offering 3.5 power dividers

ALLEN, Texas - June 27, 2013 - PRLog -- Fairview Microwave, a supplier of passive RF and microwave products, is now offering a new product: 3.5 26 ghz 2 way resistive power dividers.  Not to be confused with a audio, stereo, or phone jack, 3.5 is a variation of SMA's but are generally used in higher frequency applications.  Although the interface has capabilities of up to 34 ghz, the power divider offered has a frequency range of up to 26 ghz. 3.5 connectors will have a air dielectric as opposed to Teflon, which is what the dielectric of SMA's are constructed of.  Power dividers are useful in splitting signals.  Resistive power dividers tend to have lower loss but much higher isolation compared to wilkinson power dividers.  Power dividers are useful in both splitting and combining signals.  You may see much more loss properties when combining rather than splitting signals.

This new 3.5 resistive 2 way power divider has a frequency range of 0 to 26 ghz and a VSWR of 1.7 max.  It has an average power handling capability of 1 watt and a 1 Kilowatt peak power specification.  The peak power has a 5 microsecond pulse width with a 0.05% duty cycle(input only).  Insertion loss is 8.5 dB maximum(input to either output).  Connectors of this power divider are constructed of passivated stainless steel and the contacts are gold plated, per MIL-G-45204, Beryllium Copper.  The housing is constructed of nickel plated brass.  The power divider comes with an all 3.5 female configuration, contact Fairview Microwave for a custom application.
