Overview

The ZX10-2-20-S+ is a coaxial 2-way 0-degree power splitter and combiner designed for operation between 200 MHz and 2 GHz. This connectorized module features SMA interfaces and provides a balance of low insertion loss and high power handling in a compact, rugged housing. It is suitable for distributing RF signals or combining inputs with a maximum amplitude unbalance of 0.3dB and phase unbalance of 9 degrees.

Why Choose This Part

The module offers a wide operating temperature range from -55C to 100C, ensuring stability in harsh environments. Its coaxial design with SMA connectors eliminates the need for PCB mounting during early-stage prototyping and system integration.

Applications

Cellular and UHF Radio
Ideal for signal distribution in GSM, PCS, and UHF frequency bands.
Signal Sampling
Provides a consistent 1.6dB insertion loss for extracting signal portions for monitoring without significant degradation.
Antenna Arrays
Used to split a single feed to multiple antenna elements in phased array or MIMO prototyping.
Laboratory Test Sets
Acts as a reliable lab-grade combiner or splitter for benchtop RF measurements and equipment calibration.
