Mini-Circuits has introduced its latest innovation, the SPL-2G42G50W4+, a high-performance, 4-way active RF splitter optimized for the 2.4-2.5 GHz ISM band. Designed to meet the demands of industrial applications, including RF energy generation, plasma generation, and industrial heating, the SPL-2G42G50W4+ offers remarkable flexibility and precise control for both CW and pulsed signals.
The SPL-2G42G50W4+ stands out with several advanced features:
Wide Attenuation and Phase Range: This splitter offers a 30 dB variable gain range with 0.5 dB step adjustments per channel. Additionally, each output channel supports a 360° phase shift range, configurable in 1° steps, with a 180° phase inversion function.
I2C Control Interface: The unit includes an I2C bus interface, allowing easy integration with other Mini-Circuits components like the ZHL-2425-250X+ amplifier and the ISC-2425-25+ controller. This provides users precise digital control over phase and amplitude settings across four independent outputs.
Seamless Integration in High-Power Systems: The splitter’s design ensures compatibility with multi-channel RF energy systems, ideal for applications requiring up to 1kW power output. The SPL-2G42G50W4+ facilitates synchronization across channels, minimizing phase and amplitude mismatches.
Enhanced Temperature Stability: Designed to operate within a wide temperature range (0°C to 85°C), the splitter maintains consistent performance across variable environments, making it suitable for demanding industrial settings.
Low Insertion Loss and VSWR: With a typical insertion loss of just 1 dB and well-matched VSWR for both input (2.3:1) and output (2.0:1), the SPL-2G42G50W4+ reduces signal degradation, ensuring efficient power distribution.
Application and Configuration Flexibility
This device can be easily programmed to assign unique addresses to each amplifier channel through its in-line I2C switch, facilitating straightforward setup and configuration. Mini-Circuits offers clear guidelines for integrating the SPL-2G42G50W4+ into multi-module systems, making it an attractive solution for companies seeking scalability and flexibility in their RF applications.
The SPL-2G42G50W4+ is now available and comes equipped with MCX-female connectors for easy coaxial interfacing, simplifying installation and maintenance in complex RF setups. For ordering and additional product details, visit Mini-Circuits’ official website.
