There are several classes of devices that can be used to divide No. of output Coupling Loss
or combine RF/Microwave power. Generally, they are classitied
(N) (dB)
according to the number of output ports and the relative phase
difference between the output signals. The appropriate device
must be carefully selected based on the device type and 2 3.01
specifications. Particular care must be taken in specifying 3 4.77
devices where the application calls for power combining. 4 6.02

The following is a description of the key characteristics 6 7.78
normally used in specifying Power Divider performance, and the 8 9.03
various types of Power Dividers available. 10 10.0

PARAMETER DEFINITIONS
Isolation
Isolation (in dB), in a Power Divider, is defined as the
attenuation between a signal present at any Output port and its
level as measured at any other Output port, with the input port
terminated in 50 ohms. This is a critical parameter that allows the
design engineer to estimate "crosstalk" between the various
outputs.
