Unequal Dividers
Engineered to split RF signals into two or more outputs with intentionally different power levels, unequal power dividers are critical in systems requiring asymmetrical signal distribution. These components allow precise control over signal routing while maintaining impedance balance and minimizing insertion loss.

FAQ about Unequal dividers
What is an unequal power divider?
An unequal power divider is a passive RF component that splits an input signal into two or more output signals with intentionally different power levels, as opposed to equal splits found in standard power dividers.
When would I use an unequal power divider instead of an equal one?
Unequal power dividers are used when different parts of a system require varying signal strengths—for example, to drive components with different input power needs or to manage coverage in antenna systems.
Do unequal dividers affect signal integrity?
High-quality unequal power dividers, like those from MCV, are designed to maintain signal integrity with minimal insertion loss and high isolation, even when splitting power unevenly.
What power ratios are available for unequal dividers?
MCV offers unequal dividers in a range of standard and custom power ratios (e.g., 10/90, 30/70, 40/60), depending on system requirements and frequency range.
Can unequal dividers be used across wide frequency ranges?
Yes, MCV unequal power dividers are engineered for broadband operation and are available for use across multiple frequency bands, from VHF to microwave applications.
