SMA DC-18000MHz 4 Way Resistive Power Divider
CPD00000M18000A04A is a Resistive power divider with 4 way SMA connectors that operates from DC to 18GHz. Input SMA female and outputs SMA female. Total loss is the 12dB splitting loss plus insertion loss. Resistive power dividers have poor isolation between ports and therefore they are not recommended for combining signals. They offer wideband operation with flat and low loss and excellent amplitude and phase balance to 18GHz . The power splitter has a nominal power handling of 0.5W (CW) and a typical amplitude unbalance of ±0.2dB. The VSWR for all ports is 1.5 typical.
Our power divider can split an input signal into 4 equal and identical signals and allows operation at 0Hz, so they’re ideal for Broadband applications. The downside is there’s no isolation between ports, & resistive dividers are normally low power, in the range of 0.5-1watt. In order to operate at high frequencies the resistor chips are small, so they don’t handle applied voltage well.

SMA DC-18000MHz 2 Way Resistive Power Divider
CPD00000M18000A02A is a 50 Ohm resistive 2-Way power divider/combiner.. It is available with 50 Ohm SMA female coaxial RF SMA-f connectors. It operates DC-18000 MHz and is rated for 1 Watt of RF input power. It is constructed in a star configuration. It has the functionality of a RF hub because every path through the divider/combiner has equal loss.

SMA DC-8000MHz 8 Way Resistive Power Divider
CPD00000M08000A08 is a resistive 8-way power splitter with a typical insertion loss of 2.0dB at each output port across the frequency range of DC to 8GHz. The power splitter has a nominal power handling of 0.5W (CW) and a typical amplitude unbalance of ±0.2dB. The VSWR for all ports is 1.4 typical. The RF connectors of the power splitter are female SMA connectors.
The advantages of resistive dividers are size ,which can be very small since it contains only lumped elements and not distributed elements and they can be extremely broadband. Indeed, a resistive power divider is the only splitter that works down to zero frequency (DC)
