Power Splitter/Combiner

MMIC Surface Mount

The Big Deal

• Ultra-wide bandwidth, 0.7 to 6.0 GHz

• 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.

Feature

Advantages

Wideband, 0.7 to 6.0 GHz

One power splitter can be used in all the LTE bands through WiMax and WiFi, saving compo-

nent count. Also ideal for wideband applications such as military and instrumentation.

Tiny size, 5 x 5 mm QFN package

Tiny footprint saves space in dense layouts while providing low inductance, repeatable transi-

tions, and excellent thermal contact to the PCB.

Excellent power handling

• 2.5W as a splitter

• 1.7W internal dissipation as a combiner

In power combiner applications, half the power is dissipated internally. EP2W+ is designed

to handle 1.7W internal dissipation as a combiner allowing reliable operation without exces-

sive temperature rise. Similar splitters implemented as Wilkinson splitters on PCB require big

resistors and additional heat sinking. As a splitter, EP2W+ can handle up to 2.5W in a very

small package.

DC Passing up to 0.4A

DC current passing is helpful in applications where both RF & DC need to pass through the

DUT, such as antenna mounted hardware.
