5 Way Power Dividers／ Combiners

A 5-way power providers/combiners is a device that converts one input signal into five equal or unequal energy channels, or in turn, combines the five signal capabilities into one output channel, which can be called a combiner. Generally speaking, the technical specifications of a power divider include frequency range, insertion loss, isolation between branch ports, and voltage standing wave ratio of the ports.

1. Frequency range: This is the working premise of various RF/microwave circuits. The wider the frequency range, the wider the adaptation scenario, and the greater the difficulty of designing a power divider. The frequency range of a broadband power divider can cover ten or even dozens of octaves.
2. Insertion loss: Insertion loss refers to the signal loss when a signal passes through a power divider. When selecting RF power splitters, it is advisable to choose products with low insertion loss as much as possible, as this will result in better transmission quality.
3. Isolation degree: The isolation degree between branch ports is another important indicator of the power distributor. If the input power from each branch port can only be output from the main port and should not be output from other branches, it requires sufficient isolation between branches.
4. Standing Wave Ratio: The smaller the voltage standing wave ratio of each port, the better. The smaller the standing wave, the smaller the energy reflection.
