An 8-way RF power divider and combiner operates over 2.0 GHz to 4.2 GHz with N-Female connectors. The unit is rated for 20 W maximum RF input power as a divider or balanced combiner when used with a load VSWR of 1.20:1 or better. Electrical performance includes 50 ohm nominal impedance, 1.5 dB maximum insertion loss above the theoretical split, 22 dB minimum isolation, 0.3 dB maximum amplitude balance, and 8 degree maximum phase balance. The mechanical construction uses brass nickel-plated connectors, beryllium-copper gold-plated contact pins, an aluminum yellow-iridite housing, and PTFE insulators. The operating temperature range is -55 °C to +85 °C.
