Resistive Power Splitters & Dividers

January 17, 2011
Broadband Resistive Power Divider
MODEL WA1506A
DC-18 GHz 1 Watt

Features
►Accurate Division and Low Frequency Sensitivity- The symmetry of output power between the two arms is excellent across the frequency range.
►High Stability- Low temperature and power coefficients ensure attenuator stability
►Calibration Data – Each divider is calibrated at four frequencies. Calibration data provided at additional cost.
►Matched Ports- Symmetrical 6 dB division permits any port to be used as input.
