VAUNIX Lab Brick LPD Series RF Power Divider / Combiner - available at bq-microwave
The VAUNIX Lab Brick LPD Series offers passive RF Power Dividers and Combiners for the frequency range from 700 MHz to 7250 MHz with configurations from 1:2 to 1:16. Optimized for L-, S- and C-band test applications, the portfolio covers WiFi 6/6E, 5G NR FR1 Sub-6 GHz, Cellular and ISM bands. Form factors range from compact Single-Unit housings with surface mount points to 19-inch Rack-Mount configurations (1U).
What sets the LPD Series apart
The LPD Series combines excellent Amplitude Balance and Phase Balance across the entire frequency range with typical Lab Brick robustness. As passive components, the Power Dividers require no external power supply and can be flexibly deployed as Splitter (1 input, N outputs) or Combiner (N inputs, 1 output). This makes the series ideal for complex ATE setups, Multi-Path test environments and MIMO validation with symmetrical power distribution.
