This week’s product, the Microwave Products Group (MPG) SPCL-00734 Broadband Diplexer, is for applications that require dependable signal separation for defense operations, accurate measurement capabilities for electronic warfare (EW), or improved signal integrity and radar systems.

The SPCL-00734 separates carriers below 5 GHz from their harmonics up to 40 GHz and prevents the carrier from reflecting to the D.U.T or entering the spectrum analyzer.

The device has customizable options to meet size and weight constraints without compromising performance. The filters can be tailored to meet exact specifications, whether for specific frequency bands, precise insertion loss, isolation levels, or power handling capabilities
