This model provides excellent amplitude unbalance in a tiny device package (3.5 x 2.5mm). Manufactured using GaAs IPD technology, it provides a high level of ESD protection and excellent reliability. KEY FEATURES Feature Advantages Wideband, 10 to 43.5 GHz One power splitter can be used in many applications, saving component count. Also ideal for wideband applications such as military and instrumentation. Excellent Amplitude Unbalance (0.18 dB) and Good Phase Unbalance (3-6 deg.) Excellent Amplitude and phase unbalance helps to accurately divide the input signals which is essential in test and measurement circuits. Small size 3.5mm x 2.5mm QFN style package Tiny footprint saves space in dense layouts while providing low inductance, repeatable transitions, and excellent thermal contact to the PCB. REV.
