PD554B - DC & 10 MHz Block L-Band Splitter

Overview

PD554B is a 4-way BNC power divider operating from 698-2700 MHz and blocking DC+10 MHz from four (4) ports. This passive Wilkinson microstrip unit equally splits the full L-band radio spectrum between two receivers or modems while blocking DC and 10 MHz from both ports. This model is ideal for satellite and VSAT applications splitting the down converted L-band signal equally between two receivers or modems in cases where DC current and the 10 MHz reference signal must be blocked from, respectively, the LNB and BUC. With integrated filters, the 10 MHz signal is rejected by more than 50 dB without affecting integrity of signals in the L-band spectrum. This unit is rated to withstand 50VDC. All L-band applications in the frequency range from 698 to 2700 MHz are covered with best in class performance.

Electrical

The heart of the unit is a precision designed and etched Wilkinson type microstrip circuit on a low loss, high frequency, dielectric substrate. Electrical performance is highlighted by 0.4 dB max insertion loss (above the 6.02 dB power split), 22 dB min isolation, 1.20:1 max input VSWR and 1.20:1 max output port VSWR. Equal power split and symmetry is displayed by 0.2 dB amplitude balance and 3 degrees phase balance. Narrow band RF performance over your frequency range may be even better. See 4 way power divider test sweeps for details.
