Four-way Iso-divider from Crane combines power and isolators on one package for satellite uses
WEST CALDWELL, N.J., 18 June 2014. Crane Aerospace & Electronics Microwave Solutions in West Caldwell, N.J., is introducing the Ku-Band four-way Iso-divider for satellite applications.
This RF and microwave unit combines the functions of high performance power dividers with ferrite isolators to provide a high isolation power divider solution, making the external isolators redundant, for satellite receiver applications, without introducing complex switch-based solutions.
Integration of the two functions into one package provides enhanced product reliability due to fewer external components, interconnects, and switches. It marries the power divider and isolators in the same package.
This allows the performance of the integrated unit to be carematched and better overall performance can be obtained. Size and weight of the product are considerably less than an equivalent discrete assembly.
