Introduction

A Power Splitter/Combiner is a passive device that can be used for two reciprocal functions: a single signal may be divided into multiple outputs, or in the opposite direction, multiple input signals are combined into a single output. In case of an N-port splitter, the input signal will be divided into N output ports. When used as an N-port combine...

Understanding The Coherence of Signals

Various definitions are used to explain the phase coherence of input signals. Perhaps the simplest is that coherence is when two signals have the same frequency and maintain a constant phase offset. In other words, the relative phase ?? (Figures 1 & 2) between the two signals stays constant over time. Conversely, if the two signals do not have cons...

Mini-Circuits’ Definition of Non-Coherent Signals

The power combiner exhibits insertion loss that varies according to the amplitude and phase relationship of the signals that are being combined. In many of our splitter/combiners, when we specify ratings for power as combiner, on our footnote we state “As a combiner of non-coherent signals max power per port is XX-watt power rating divided by numbe...

What is a power splitter/combiner?

A Power Splitter/Combiner is a passive device that can be used for two reciprocal functions: a single signal may be divided into multiple outputs, or in the opposite direction, multiple input signals are combined into a single output. In case of an N -port splitter, the input signal will be divided into N output ports.

What are the characteristics of a 0° power splitter?

The output signals theoretically possess the following characteristics: Since the 0° power splitter is a reciprocal passive device it may be used as a power combiner simply by applying each signal singularly into each of the splitter output ports. The vector sum of the signals will appear as a single output at the splitter input port.

How do you isolate a two-way splitter/combiner?

The isolation of the two-way splitter/combiner is obtained by measuring the attenuation between ports A and B when the common port is terminated in the correct value of impedance, generally 50 ohms. An RF generator signal is applied to port A and an RF voltmeter reading is taken at port B.

How much isolation does a power combiner exhibit?

The power combiner will also exhibit isolation between the input ports. The amount of isolation will depend upon the impedance termination at the combiner output or sum port. For example, in the 2 way 0° power splitter/combiner of Fig. 1 if port S is open then the isolation between ports A and B would be 6dB.
