GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADAR5001 is a 1-to-2 Wilkinson power splitter that is designed

for space-constrained microwave signal distribution applications.

Excess insertion loss ranges from −1.0 dB (from 10 GHz to 18

GHz) and −1.1 dB (from 18 GHz to 27 GHz). The two outputs are

matched in both phase and amplitude, making the ADAR5001 ideal

for signal distribution applications requiring low time skew between

channels. The ADAR5001 can also be used as a combiner, combining

input signals at the P1 and P2 ports to an output at the S1

port. The ADAR5001 is housed in a compact, 1.460 mm × 1.460

mm × 0.500 mm WLCSP, which makes it ideal for use in planar,

phased-array antenna systems that require a tight pitch between

elements.

The ADAR5001 is fabricated on a passive silicon process, and it is

specified to operate from −40°C to +85°C.
