Sunnyvale-based KRYTAR has released the Model ULTRA7030400K, a 4-way power divider designed to operate across a frequency range of 3.0 to 40.0 GHz. This compact unit, which utilizes 2.92-mm coaxial female connectors, is now available for integration into high-frequency radio frequency hardware.
Why it matters
The development of wideband power dividers is critical for maintaining signal integrity in increasingly complex RF systems that require simultaneous processing across multi-octave bandwidths. This hardware helps engineers manage complex signal paths without sacrificing performance metrics like isolation and phase tracking.
The device achieves an insertion loss of less than 3.4 dB with input VSWR performance scaling from 1.9 (3-32 GHz) to 2.5 (32-40 GHz). It maintains greater than 13 dB isolation and maximum phase tracking of ±10 degrees within a compact 2.64-inch by 2.30-inch by 0.40-inch footprint.
The players
KRYTAR
A Sunnyvale-based manufacturer specializing in microwave and radio frequency components including power dividers and directional couplers.
The details
KRYTAR uses a proprietary design to create matched-line directional dividers that enable this wide frequency coverage. By incorporating 2.92-mm coaxial female connectors—a standard interface for high-frequency microwave applications—the design minimizes signal reflection, known as Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), across the specified bandwidth. Amplitude tracking is kept to ±0.35 dB to ensure uniform power distribution among the four output ports.

The Tech Race
This component tracks with the ongoing industry shift toward compact, multi-octave RF hardware that can replace multiple narrowband devices. It follows the integration requirements set by the 2.92-mm coaxial standard, ensuring it aligns with current high-frequency test and measurement workflows.
System designers can immediately incorporate this 4.1-ounce unit into wideband testing rigs where space and signal precision are constrained. Integration requires standard 2.92-mm coaxial interfaces, simplifying setup compared to proprietary or custom-designed splitting solutions.
The takeaway
This divider offers a standardized, high-frequency solution for engineers managing complex RF signals up to 40 GHz. Watch for future product benchmarks to confirm performance consistency in long-duration operational environments.
