Agilent Power Dividers & Splitters


Agilent Power Dividers

Agilent power dividers are an RF microwave accessory constructed with equivalent 50 Ohm resistance at each port. These accessories divide power of a uniform transmission line equally between ports to enable comparison measurements. Power dividers provide a good impedance match at both the output ports when the input is terminated in the system characteristic impedance (50 Ohm). Once a good source match has been achieved, a power divider is used to divide the output into equal signals for comparison measurements. Agilent power dividers also can be used in test systems to measure two different characteristics of a signal, such as frequency and power, for broadband independent signal sampling. Besides dividing power it also can act as power combiners because they are bi-directional.

Agilent RF power dividers can be used as power combiners for IMD measurements. IMD measurements require a signal with the appropriate phase relationships among the carriers to simulate real life conditions and provide repeatable results. A power divider accurately combines two signals from the two difference signal sources into one signal for the device under test (DUT). A spectrum analyzer is used to examine the output of DUT while it is being stimulated with multi-tone test signal.

Agilent Power Splitters

Agilent power splitters are constructed of two resistors. They are used for leveling and ratio measurement applications to improve the effective output match of microwave sources. The two-resistor configuration also provides 50 Ohm output impedance to minimize measurement uncertainty in source leveling or ratio measurement applications.

Agilent RF power splitters can be use for gain, gain compression and power testing. The power splitter provides signal rationing that improves the source match and removes re-reflected signals so gain measurements can be taken at different RF power levels without re-calibrating. Agilent power dividers and power splitters perform different functions in test systems and are not interchangeable. For simple power dividing and combining, the three-resistor Agilent power divider should be used. For ratio measurement and leveling, the two-resistor Agilent power splitter is the right choice.
