MPD2-00001PSM - Small Footprint MMIC 2-Way Wilkinson Power Divider/Power Splitter

August 5, 2024

The MPD2-00001PSM is a small footprint MMIC 2-Way Wilkinson power divider/power splitter featuring high isolation in our compact DFN package. The MPD2-00001PSM uses a mix of lumped element and distributed circuits to significantly reduce the footprint while maintaining isolation at low frequencies. It is much smaller than a printed PCB Wilkinson Power Divider/Combiner. It can be used as an equal amplitude/phase power splitter or a power combiner with excellent isolation. Tight fabrication tolerances result in less unit-to-unit variation than traditional power divider technologies, allowing for accurate simulations using the provided S3P file taken from measured production units. The 1.3 x 2mm DFN package enables extreme miniaturization of SMT footprint making the MPD2-00001PSM ideal for applications prioritizing low SWaP.
