Keysight has introduced a set of high frequency solutions that include switches, power divider, power splitter and power limiter up to 54/67 GHz.
· U1816E/F: DC to 50/67 GHz Dual-SP6T switches
· 11636D: DC to 67 GHz power divider
· 11667D: DC to 67 GHz power splitter
· N9355G: 0.01 to 54 GHz power limiter
A Power divider and power splitter may, at times, be considered the same device and perform the same functions in an application. But the fact is, they are not interchangeable.
The power divider is constructed with equivalent 50 Ω resistance at each port and works bi-directionally, for simple power dividing or power combining applications.
In contrast, the power splitter is built with two resistors that provide 50 Ω output impedance, minimizing measurement uncertainties in source leveling or improving effective output match in ratio measurement applications.
