MAPD-011062 2–20GHz 2-Way RF Power Divider
The MACOM MAPD-011062 is a fully integrated 2-way RF power divider designed to divide one input signal into two nominally equal, in-phase output signals across a wide 2GHz to 20GHz frequency range.
It provides approximately 1dB typical excess insertion loss, 15dB typical output-to-output isolation, 0.2dB typical amplitude balance and 2° typical phase balance. The component is supplied in a compact, lead-free 3mm 16-lead PQFN surface-mount package.

FAQ
What is the frequency range of the MAPD-011062?
The MAPD-011062 operates from 2GHz to 20GHz, supporting broadband microwave signal-distribution applications.
What is the insertion loss?
MACOM specifies approximately 1dB typical excess insertion loss. Maximum excess insertion loss is 1.5dB from 2–13GHz, 2.25dB from 13–18GHz and 2.75dB from 18–20GHz.
What is the difference between insertion loss and the 3dB power split?
An ideal two-way divider divides the available input power equally, producing a theoretical 3dB reduction at each output. The datasheet insertion-loss value describes additional loss beyond this ideal 3dB division.
What is the typical isolation?
The MAPD-011062 provides 15dB typical isolation between its two output ports across the specified 2–20GHz frequency range.
Does the MAPD-011062 require a power supply?
No. It is a passive integrated RF power divider and does not require a DC power supply, digital control or external bias circuit.
Can it be used as a power combiner?
Yes. A passive two-way divider can generally be operated in reverse as a combiner, provided that the applied signals, power levels, phase relationship and port matching remain within the device limits.
What is the maximum input RF power?
The datasheet specifies an absolute maximum input RF power of 3W at 25°C. Sustained operation close to an absolute maximum rating is not recommended.
Is an evaluation board available?
Yes. The MAPD-011062-SB1 sample board is available for RF evaluation and design verification.
