Microwave Power Dividers (splitters) are a subset of RF power dividers and RF power tappers<\/a>, which are a common component in many RF\/microwave circuits and systems. The main purpose of a RF splitter for microwave or RF applications is to split the power incident at the input port to a number of output ports. The number of outputs for a RF\/microwave splitter is typically an even number, though 3-way splitters are somewhat common. RF dividers differ from RF divider\/combiners, or RF combiners, as a radio frequency divider may be non-reciprocal and have dedicated inputs and outputs. RF tappers are a subset of RF power dividers, which may or may not have an even division of the input power to the outputs. Equal split power tappers<\/a> are the most common type of RF tappers and often used in cellular communication systems, such as small cells and distributed antenna system (DAS) applications.<\/p>\n
