* When used in a leveling or ratio system.
Model 1870A dc to 18.0 GHz
Broadband Resistive Power Splitter 1 Watt
(Matching)
Type N Connectors
Features
These resistive power splitters are intended for RF and
wireless applications in which one of the two outputs is
included in a leveling loop or is used as a reference in a
ratio system, for the purpose of providing an output signal
whose source impedance is essentially matched to 50Ω.
Some examples are:
o A dual channel insertion loss measuring system
(ratio).
o A parallel IF substitution insertion loss measuring
system (ratio or ALC loop).
o A precision power source (ratio or ALC loop).
