Power divider suitable for telecoms infrastructure
Link Microtek
Model 2372A-2 two-way power divider
The model 2372A-2 two-way power divider from Link Microtek is suitable for a variety of applications in telecommunications infrastructure.
The 2372A-2 two-way power divider operates over microwave frequencies from 500MHz to 2.5GHz and can handle an input power of up to 250W or 2kW peak.
Manufactured by Narda, the device can also be used as a non-coherent 125W-per-signal power combiner.
It incorporates proprietary high-power, thin-film resistors to ensure broadband impedance matching and high isolation between inputs when used as a combiner.
These resistors are directly attached to the housing to optimise thermal transfer so that the film temperature remains stable throughout the unit's operating temperature range.
Featuring an insertion loss of less than 0.6dB, the 2372A-2 provides good phase and amplitude balance of +/-5deg and +/-0.25dB respectively.
VSWR is less than 1.5:1 and isolation is specified as at least 13dB up to 700MHz, rising to 18dB at 2.5GHz.
Employing N-type female connectors, the power divider is finished with tri-alloy plating and measures 88.9 x 63.5 x 25.4mm.
