Mastering Power Splitter Design: From Principle to Engineering Practice
Oct , 11 2025
In RF and microwave systems, the power splitter is a core passive component responsible for dividing an input signal into multiple outputs with minimal loss and perfect impedance balance. From cellular base stations to satellite networks and RF test systems, the power splitter ensures signal integrity across transmission paths. 1. Basic Principle of Power Splitters A power splitter divides an inpu...

Essential Knowledge for RF Engineers: Understanding Passive Intermodulation (PIM)
Oct , 23 2025
In modern wireless communication networks, maintaining signal purity and minimizing interference are crucial for ensuring system reliability and efficiency. One of the most common yet often overlooked sources of signal degradation in RF systems is Passive Intermodulation (PIM). For engineers working in network infrastructure, understanding PIM is not just optional—it’s fundamental. What is Passive...

Choosing the Right Power Splitter: Wilkinson vs. Cavity vs. UHF
Nov , 14 2025
In RF passive networks, a power splitter may look simple, but choosing the wrong type can directly impact system stability, coverage balance, and long-term reliability. Below, we take three representative models as engineering cases—a 350–2700 MHz 50W Wilkinson splitter, a 698–7125 MHz cavity splitter, and a 450–512 MHz UHF 4-way Wilkinson splitter—to break down how to select the correct product f...

Can't understand high gain rf antenna parameters? How to avoid being misled by suppliers?
Nov , 22 2025
In the telecommunications industry, antennas are a type of product that "look similar but vary greatly in performance." Specification tables often fill an entire page, but people from different industry backgrounds interpret these indicators completely differently. Many engineers and purchasing personnel often encounter a dilemma: suppliers explain things convincingly, but on-site testing reveals ...

How to Choose 6dB, 10dB, 15dB, or 20dB Couplers
Nov , 29 2025
One of the questions we hear most often from engineers is: “Should I use a 6dB, 10dB, 15dB, or 20dB coupler — and what’s the real difference in coverage?” On paper, these numbers look like simple coupling values. But from more than two decades of manufacturing RF passive components, we know something very clearly: Choosing the wrong coupling value can break your coverage balance, distort the ...

What's the Difference Between a Combiner and a Hybrid?
Dec , 06 2025
In RF system design and engineering projects, "Combiner" and "Hybrid Coupler (or Hybrid Combiner)" are often mentioned, but they are not the same. Their applications and performance characteristics differ significantly. Basic Concepts and Technical Differences Hybrid Coupler (Hybrid Combiner) is typically a four-port device based on coupled lines, transmission line theory, or branch-line / ring st...
