[SI-LIST] Re: ODD Power Splitter

Julio...

An ideal 15-way splitter would have 11.8dB loss from common port to any of the 
input/output ports.  An idea 16 way splitter (with a load on the unused 
input/output) would have 12dB loss.  The use of a simple 16-way splitter is 
going to give you a 0.2dB hit in your S/N ratio, hardly worth worrying about.

Hi everyone

I have to design a (low power) "power splitter" to split a 1.2 GHz signal to
15 outputs. I thought to use a 16 port splitter and to load the not used
output. BUT the splitter is going to be used to collect signals from the 15
inputs and the S/N ratio would be degraded by the load.

Do you know any architecture which solves this problem? i.e. to split to a
odd number of outputs. All I've seen is for an even number of outputs. 

The bandwidth Df/f0 is 4% 

Do Have a nice weekend
