2-Way RF Power Divider, SMA Female, 0.4–7.2 GHz, 20 W

The PDWS-R407-2 is a 2-way SMA RF power divider designed for microwave applications from 0.4 to 7.2 GHz. It splits one input signal into two equal output paths while maintaining low insertion loss, solid port-to-port isolation, and very tight amplitude and phase balance across the operating band. It is a practical choice for professional RF systems, laboratory setups, telecom subsystems, instrumentation, and test environments in both development and production.

Why choose this RF power divider

• 0.4 to 7.2 GHz frequency coverage, suitable for a wide range of RF and microwave applications.
• Low insertion loss of ≤1.4 dB (excluding the theoretical 3 dB split loss), helping reduce the additional attenuation introduced by the divider.
• Isolation >18 dB between output ports, supporting more stable signal distribution and reduced interaction between channels.
• Very tight balance with amplitude balance ≤ ±0.2 dB and phase balance ≤ ±3°, especially valuable in applications where uniformity and repeatability matter.
• 20 W CW input power handling as divider and 1 W as combiner, offering flexibility for both lab use and system integration.
• Controlled VSWR, with input VSWR ≤1.30 and output VSWR ≤1.20, supporting good matching across the RF chain.
• Compact, industrial-grade construction with SMA female connectors, 50 Ω impedance, and an operating temperature range of -45 to +85 °C.
• RoHS and REACH compliant, making integration easier in regulated industrial and commercial projects.

Typical applications

• RF test and measurement benches for signal routing, calibration paths, monitoring lines, and reference distribution
• Microwave setups for validation, characterization, and automated testing
• Telecom and wireless subsystems that require signal splitting across two paths with good consistency
• RF instrumentation and laboratory platforms operating over a broad frequency range
• Professional signal splitting and low-power combining architectures

Designed for reliable RF integration

This 2-way RF power divider is intended for engineers, integrators, and laboratories that need repeatable performance in a compact format. Its combination of low VSWR, moderate insertion loss, good isolation, and tight channel balance makes it suitable for design-in activities, validation benches, and long-term use in professional RF systems where stable behavior is important.

The mechanical design also supports dependable integration in demanding environments, with a painted aluminium housing, passivated stainless-steel connector bodies, and gold-plated BeCu center pins. When compact size, mechanical robustness, and consistent electrical performance are required across a 0.4 to 7.2 GHz operating range, the PDWS-R407-2 provides a practical solution for professional RF applications.
