MMIC Surface Mount EP2RCW+ Power Splitter/Combiner 2 Way-0 50 DC to 8.0 GHz The Big Deal Ultra-wide bandwidth, DC to 8.0 GHz High Isolation, 21 dB typ at 4 GHz Small size, 5 x 5 x 1 mm CASE STYLE: DG1677-2 Product Overview Mini-Circuits EP2RCW+ is a MMIC 2-way 0 splitter/combiner designed for wideband operation from DC to 8.0 GHz supporting many applications requiring high performance across a wide frequency range including alll the LTE bands through WiMax and WiFi, as well as instrumentation and more. This models provides excellent power handling up to 0.6W (as a splitter/combiner) with low insertion loss, good isolation, and low phase and amplitude unbalance in a tiny 5 x 5mm QFN package. Manufactured using GaAs IPD technology, the EP2RCW+ not only provides a repeatable performance, but also a high level of ESD protection. Key Features Feature Advantages One power splitter can be used in all the LTE bands through WiMax and WiFi, saving com- Wideband, DC to 8.0 GHz ponent count. Also ideal for wideband applications such as military and instrumentation. High Isolation, 21 dB typ. at 4 GHz In power combiner applications, half the power is dissipated internally. EP2RCW+ is de- Excellent power handling, signed to handle 0.6W internal dissipation as a combiner allowing reliable operation without 0.6W as a splitter / combiner excessive temperature rise. Excellent Amplitude unbalance, 0.1 dB typ. Ideal for Applications such as WMO & phased array radars Good phase unbalance, 1.0 typ. at 4 GHz Tiny footprint saves space in dense layouts while providing low inductance, repeatable Tiny size, 5 x 5mm QFN package transitions, and excellent thermal contact to the PCB.
