Mini-Circuits MNA-2W+ Environmental and export classification status description

Mini-Circuits® MNA-2W+ Overview The Mini-Circuits® MNA-2W+ is a broadband 2-way resistive power splitter/combiner that operates over a frequency range of DC to 18 GHz. It is designed to provide low insertion loss, high isolation, and good input/output return loss performance. Functions - Power Splitter: Splits an input signal into two balanced output signals. - Power Combiner: Combines two input signals into a single output signal. Applications - Signal Distribution: Used in signal distribution systems for RF and wireless applications. - Test and Measurement: Ideal for RF test setups requiring signal splitting or combining. - Communication Systems: Used in RF communication systems for signal routing and distribution. Alternative Components 1. Anaren Dividers/Combiners 2. Fairview Microwave Power Dividers/Combiners 3. Werlatone Power Splitters/Combiners Embedded Modules - Mini-Circuits® MP Series: These are plug-and-play modules that integrate power splitters/combiners within a compact enclosure, providing easy integration into larger RF systems.
