MMIC Surface Mount EP2-5G1+ Power Splitter/Combiner 2 Way-0 50 12 to 43.5 GHz The Big Deal Wide bandwidth, 12 to 43.5 GHz High isolation, 24 dB typ. at 27 GHz Low cost splitter for 5G Application CASE STYLE: MC1630-1 Product Overview Mini-Circuits EP2-5G1+ is a MMIC 2-way 0 splitter/combiner designed for wideband operation from 12 to 43.5 GHz supporting many applications requiring high performance across a wide frequency range including phased array radars, 5G applications, as well as instrumentation and more. This model provides excellent power handling up to 0.5W (as a splitter/combiner) with good isolation, and low phase and amplitude unbalance in a tiny 2 x 2 mm 6 lead-QFN package. Manufactured using GaAs IPD technology, the EP2-5G1+ not only provides a repeatable performance, but also a high level of ESD protection. Key Features Feature Advantages Wideband, 12 to 43.5 GHz Low cost power splitter designed for phased array radars and 5G applications. In power combiner applications, half the power is dissipated internally. EP2-5G1+ is designed High isolation, 24 dB typ. at 27 GHz Excellent power handling, to handle 0.5W internal dissipation as a combiner allowing reliable operation without exces- 0.5W as a splitter / combiner sive temperature rise. Excellent Amplitude unbalance, 0.1 dB typ. at 27 GHz Ideal for Applications such as MIMO & phased array radars Good phase unbalance, 4 typ. at 27 GHz Tiny footprint saves space in dense layouts while providing low inductance, repeatable transi- Tiny size, 2X2mm QFN package tions, and excellent thermal contact to the PCB.
