Mini-Circuits BDCN-10-25+

Mini-Circuits BDCN-10-25+ Environmental and export classification status description

The Mini-Circuits® BDCN-10-25+ coaxial RF bias tee provides a convenient way to combine RF signals with DC bias voltage for active devices like amplifiers or mixers. It allows the RF signal to pass through with minimal insertion loss while providing the necessary DC bias to the connected device. Functions: This bias tee combines RF signals with DC bias voltage by isolating the DC from the RF port and delivering it to the center conductor of the coaxial cable. It can handle frequencies from 10 MHz to 2.5 GHz and supply DC voltage up to 100 mA. Applications: The BDCN-10-25+ is commonly used in RF and microwave applications where active devices require both RF signals and DC bias voltage, such as in amplifier and mixer circuits. It can be utilized in test setups, communication systems, and radar applications. Alternative Parts: Some alternative bias tee options are the Mini-Circuits® BCP-10-50+ and the BPFH-120+ from Mini-Circuits®. These offer similar functionality and performance within different frequency ranges. Embedded Modules: While the BDCN-10-25+ is a standalone coaxial bias tee, it can be integrated into larger RF systems, test setups, or custom RF modules to provide DC bias capability for active components. Q&A: 1. Q: What is the frequency range of the BDCN-10-25+ bias tee? A: It operates from 10 MHz to 2.5 GHz, making it suitable for various RF and wireless applications. 2. Q: Can the BDCN-10-25+ supply high DC bias currents? A: Yes, it can deliver up to 100 mA of DC current to the connected active device. 3. Q: How does the BDCN-10-25+ isolate the DC bias from the RF signal?
