Mini-Circuits TCW2-282+ Environmental and export classification status description

The Mini-Circuits®TCW2-282+ is a passive, 2-way RF combiner that operates across a wide bandwidth, typically ranging from 300 MHz to 2.8 GHz. It combines RF signals from two input ports into a single output port with high isolation between the input ports. Functions: The primary function of the TCW2-282+ is to combine or sum two RF signals with minimal loss and high isolation. This allows for the consolidation of multiple RF signals into a single output, which can simplify system setups and reduce the need for additional components. Applications: - Signal combining in RF test setups - Antenna array systems - Diversity reception systems - Distributed antenna systems (DAS) - RF signal distribution in communication systems Alternative Components: - Mini-Circuits® ZFSC-2-2500+ - Marki Microwave C2-2-2 - JFW Industries 50PA-252 Embedded Modules: - Mini-Circuits® PCB footprint model TCW2-282-SMT+ - Customized modules for specific integration needs Related Q&A: 1. Q: What is the typical insertion loss of the Mini-Circuits®TCW2-282+ combiner? A: The typical insertion loss of the TCW2-282+ combiner is around 0.4 dB across its operating frequency range. 2. Q: Can the TCW2-282+ be used for combining signals from different frequency bands? A: Yes, the TCW2-282+ is designed to work across a wide bandwidth, making it suitable for combining signals from different frequency bands within its specified range. 3. Q: What is the power handling capability of the TCW2-282+ combiner? A: The TCW2-282+ has a power handling capability of up to 500 mW, making it suitable for many RF signal combining applications. 4. Q: Is it possible to cascade multiple TCW2-282+ combiners for more than two input signals? A: Yes, multiple TCW2-282+ combiners can be cascaded to combine more than two input signals, but attention should be paid to overall system impedance matching and isolation requirements. 5. Q: Are there any specific layout considerations when using the TCW2-282+ in a PCB design? A: It is recommended to follow Mini-Circuits® guidelines for RF layout design to ensure optimum performance and minimal interference when integrating the TCW2-282+ into a PCB layout.
