Product Overview Mini-Circuits’ EP2W1+ is a MMIC 2-way 0˚ splitter/combiner designed for wideband operation from 0.5 to 9.5 GHz supporting many applications requiring high performance across a wide frequency range including all the LTE bands through WiMax an WiFi, as well as instrumentation and more. This model provides excellent power handling up to 2.5W (as a splitter) with low insertion loss, good isolation, and low phase and amplitude unbalance in a tiny 5x5mm QFN package. Manufactured using GaAs IPD technology, the EP2W1+ provides a high level of ESD protection and excellent repeatability. Feature Advantages Wideband, 0.5 to 9.5 GHz One power splitter can be used in all the LTE bands through WiMAX and WiFi, saving compo- nent count. Also ideal for wideband applications such as military and instrumentation. Tiny size, 5 x 5mm QFN package Tiny footprint saves space in dense layouts while providing low inductance, repeatable transi- tions, and excellent thermal contact to the PCB. Excellent power handling 2.5W as a splitter 1.7W internal dissipation as a combiner In power combiner applications, half the power is dissipated internally. EP2W1+ is designed to handle 1.7W internal dissipation as a combiner allowing reliable operation without excessive temperature rise. Similar splitters implemented as Wilkinson splitters on PCB require big resis- tors and additional heat sinking. As a splitter, EP2W1+ can handle up to 2.5W in a very small package. DC Passing DC current passing is helpful in applications where both RF & DC need to pass through the DUT, such as antenna mounted hardware.
