Power Dividers

    Power dividers are passive devices that are designed to combine multiple antennas in stacked antenna systems, while providing a constant 50 ohm impedance over the bandwidth chosen. The advantages of this system are wider bandwidth and lower loss than that of odd multiple quarter wave  cable trimming solutions. Custom trimming for best VSWR is time consuming. Power dividers provide simple, repeatable performance improvements for stacked antenna systems. Directive Systems power dividers, in addition, provide additional advantages.
    Directive Systems power dividers are built with 1" square aluminum housings and female N (UG-58/U) connectors. The connector pins are gold plated, and connector dielectric is teflon. Center conductors are large diameter brass for almost zero loss. The all metal construction combined with the two step light blue paint finish provides maximum protection from the elements. There are no plastic end caps to crack, leak or work loose. All power dividers are rated for the maximum power level of the type N connectors used. Our power ratings are conservative, key down for 30 minutes. The limiting factor is the power handling capability of the UG-58 N type connector and the mating UG21/U plug. Intermittent operation over the listed power rating is acceptable for short durations. The standard designs use 1/4 wave construction for both two and four port varieties. Half wave and special designs such as three, six, and eight way models are available on special order. Call the factory for details.
