Applications

The splitter is designed for applications in which the powersplit should be independant of the load impedance. This is the case when the power output ratio of port 2 and 3 is measured with this device.

Another typical application is a levelling loop. In this case one of the ports (either P2 or P3) is used in a negative feedback loop to set the power output level of a generator to some reference value. Now, the other port outputs the same amount of power at a very low equivalent VSWR, due to the effective reflection coefficient approaching zero.

For all other applications, use a 3R power splitter (resistive splitter with three resistors).
