Iso-Divider Family - Crane Aerospace & Electronics

Ku-Band Iso-Dividers™
Your source for power dividers/combiners with ferrite isolators
• High performance combination of power dividers (or combiners) with ferrite isolators
• High port isolation while maintaining low insertion loss
• Integration of two functions into a single package with enhanced reliability and fewer
external components
Crane Aerospace & Electronics designs and
manufactures high performance millimeter-wave,
microwave, RF and IF components, subsystems and
systems for military, satellite and commercial enduse customers. Since 1954, Crane has continued
to provide high performance power dividers and
combiners for satellite applications.
By understanding the needs of the performance driven
customer and utilizing Crane’s technology available
across its organization, Crane engineers designed and
offered the Iso-Divider (also Iso-Combiners) integrated
solution combining both parts into a single package;
representing a marriage of passive and ferritebased isolators.
Features
• Light weight and small size
• Broadband
• Low insertion loss
• Extremely high isolation
• Space qualified
• Also available as an Iso Combiner
Typical Applications
• Ideal for passive satellite redundancy in both
receive and transmit applications

The Iso-Divider is a higher isolation power divider
that removes the need for additional components
and connectors, which improves the reliability and
allows for enhanced electrical performance. With all
parts combined into a single package, the device
can be made considerably smaller than as individual
components and cables acquired separately. A typical
60% volume reduction is afforded with the Crane
solution, along with reduced weight because extra
cables or connectors are not required.
As satellites become smaller and more complex,
internal space in “Space” is at a premium.
Satellite and payload manufacturers need to
be able to fit more functionality into a smaller
volume. By combining the functionality of four or
more components into one, the Iso-Divider helps
meet the demands for reduced size footprint with
increased functionality.
