MMIC Surface Mount EP2KA+ Power Splitter/Combiner 2 Way-0 50 10 to 43.5 GHz The Big Deal Ultra-Wide Bandwidth, 10-43.5 GHz CASE STYLE: JV2579-1 Tiny Size, 3.5 mm x 2.5 mm Excellent Amplitude Unbalance, 0.18 dB typ. Product Overview Mini-Circuits EP2KA+ is a MMIC splitter/combiner designed for wide band operation from 10 to 43.5 GHz. This model provides excellent amplitude unbalance in a tiny device package (3.5mm x 2.5mm). Manufactured using GaAs IPD technology, it provides a high level of ESD protection and excellent reliability. Key Features Feature Advantages One power splitter can be used in many applications, saving component count. Also ideal Wideband, 10 to 43.5 GHz for wideband applications such as military and instrumentation. Excellent Amplitude Unbalance (0.18 dB) and Excellent Amplitude and phase unbalance helps to accurately divide the input signals Good Phase Unbalance (3-6 deg.) which is essential in test and measurement circuits. Small size Tiny footprint saves space in dense layouts while providing low inductance, repeatable 3.5mm x 2.5mm QFN package transitions, and excellent thermal contact to the PCB. Notes A.
