Crane Aerospace & Electronics Microwave Solutions targets space with new ku-band iso-divider
CHANDLER, Ariz., 18 March 2015. Crane Aerospace & Electronics Microwave Solutions is introducing an 8-way unit to its family of Ku-Band Iso-Divider products, designed to deliver small size, low weight, and high reliability for space applications.
The Iso-Divider combines the functionality of power dividers with ferrite isolators to provide a high isolation power divider solution for satellite receiver applications -- without introducing complex switch-based solutions and while making the external isolators redundant, officials say. The size and weight of the new product are considerably less than an equivalent discrete assembly, they add.
“Our Chandler and West Caldwell operations continue to expand the Iso-Divider product line to provide our customers with a comprehensive integrated solution offering enhanced performance and smaller physical size and weight,” affirms Mike Clark, Microwave Solutions Vice President. “Our Microwave team continues to demonstrate providing critical multi-function building blocks for advanced system architectures.”
