A Splitter and yet Extremely Useful

A power splitter is rated on its capacity to handle power, and Raditek power splitters are reputed to use only specific resistors and wire sizes (diameter and thickness of the conducting material in it) that enable them to yield specified output.

Power splitters keep the transformer from getting saturated at a lower frequency of the operating band which could result in loss of isolation and signal distortion.

Our latest power splitters are configured to retain signal strength without modulation loss.

There are basically two types of power splitters 1) Restive power splitter and 2) Hybrid power splitter.

Raditek Restive splitters are renowned for their impedance, and our hybrid splitters are renowned for minimizing power losses.

We provide cutting-edge power splitters that are suitable for both narrowband and multi-octave band operations and cover all wireless band frequencies between 200 MHz and 18 GHz.

In addition, we provide stripline, SMT, and drop-in kinds power splitters that may be configured to a 2-way and up to 32-way splitter in addition to being available in conventional and T-type housing.

Our reactive power splitter, which produces zero loss, is widely utilized in cellular applications, whereas Raditek‘s restive power splitters are suited for any broadband application.

We provide the most comprehensive selection of high-performance power splitters at the most competitive prices!
