Two 12-way Wilkinson power divider/combiners have now been introduced. They are designed specifically to cover systems applications in the cellular, GSM, PCS, and ISM bands. The units are true 12-way designs. They provide high isolation and excellent phase and amplitude balance between all ports.

The 812-2-0.900-M01 (SMA-Female, 0.800 to 1.000 GHz) is ideally suited for high-performance applications. It boasts outstanding isolation of 45 dB, a VSWR of 1.10:1, and insertion loss of 0.8 dB. This unit measures 9.50 × 3.50 ×0.75 in. The 812-2-2.100 (SMA-Female, 1.500 to 2.700 GHz) offers isolation of 25 dB, a VSWR of 1.15:1, and insertion loss of 1.0 dB. It measures 6.50 × 4.00 × 0.44 in.

All models are equipped with stainless-steel SMA-Female connectors, gold-plated copper contact pins, and virgin-electrical-grade PTFE insulation within the connectors. A rugged aluminum housing is provided for superior shielding of the divider circuitry. These units are rated to operate from ­55ºC to +70ºC. They can handle 20-W total RF power into a load with a VSWR of 1.2:1 or better.
