thereby significantly improving insertion loss performance at higher frequency. The same technique has been used to
expand the frequency of other high-power splitter/combiner designs in Mini-Circuits’ line, and new designs are now in
development to offer similar high-power capability up to 6 GHz.
Figure 3: Comparison of insertion loss vs. frequency for old and new splitter/combiner designs. Orienting the
resistors vertically to the PCB achieves a 50% increase in rated operating bandwidth.
