TRM Releases New Switched Power Divider For High Altitude Applications

The SWDL22030 is TRM’s newest 0.5 GHz to 2.1 GHz 2-way switched power divider. It integrates a fail-safe switch into a compact package and is capable of operating over a wide temperature range allowing for operation in environments such as high altitude. Other features include a DC blocked RF path and a DC pass RF path. This part was designed to switch between two GPS receivers and two GPS antennas.

This compact 2-way integrated unit operates from 0 .5 to 2.1 GHz. Total insertion loss is less than 5db and isolation is 20dB input to input and input to output. Isolation output to output is 18 dB minimum. VSWR is nominal 1.5:1 and it provides good amplitude balance with +/-0.6 dB. Switching speed is 10ms max and power handling is 1 watt CW.
