MMIC Surface Mount EP2W+ Power Splitter/Combiner 2 Way-0 50 0.7 to 6.0 GHz The Big Deal Ultra-wide bandwidth, 0.7 to 6.0 GHz CASE STYLE: DG1677-2 Tiny size, 5 x 5 x 1mm High power handling, 2.5W as a splitter Product Overview Mini-Circuits EP2W+ is a MMIC 2-way 0 splitter/combiner designed for wideband operation from 0.7 to 6.0 GHz supporting many applications requiring high performance across a wide frequency range including all the LTE bands through WiMax an WiFi, as well as instrumentation and more. This model provides excellent power han- dling up to 2.5W (as a splitter) with low insertion loss, good isolation, and low phase and amplitude unbalance in a tiny 5x5mm QFN package. Manufactured using GaAs IPD technology, the EP2W+ provides a high level of ESD protection and excellent repeatability. Key Features Feature Advantages One power splitter can be used in all the LTE bands through WiMax and WiFi, saving compo- Wideband, 0.7 to 6.0 GHz nent count. Also ideal for wideband applications such as military and instrumentation. Tiny footprint saves space in dense layouts while providing low inductance, repeatable transi- Tiny size, 5 x 5 mm QFN package tions, and excellent thermal contact to the PCB. In power combiner applications, half the power is dissipated internally. EP2W+ is designed Excellent power handling to handle 1.7W internal dissipation as a combiner allowing reliable operation without exces- 2.5W as a splitter sive temperature rise. Similar splitters implemented as Wilkinson splitters on PCB require big 1.7W internal dissipation as a combiner resistors and additional heat sinking. As a splitter, EP2W+ can handle up to 2.5W in a very small package. DC current passing is helpful in applications where both RF & DC need to pass through the DC Passing up to 0.4A DUT, such as antenna mounted hardware. Notes A.
