Power Splitters


Power splitters used in the installation of multi-element arrays, impedance matched at the frequency in use.  Outer conductor is composed of either brass, aluminum, or stainless steel.  Inner conductor composed of brass or aluminum.

Typical input connectors on 50 ohm dividers are either 'N' type female, 7-16DIN female, or 7-8EIA, depending on the input power requirements.  Typical output connectors are also suited to the power requirements and, in many cases, are 'N' type female.
Any number of output ports are available, however, as the number of output ports increases on a single power divider, bandwidth of the system proportionately decreases.  Therefore, we recommend not exceeding 16-way splits per divider, depending on the desired bandwidth of the antenna system.
