THEORY OF OPERATION

Rev. 0 | 8 of 9

The ADAR5000 is a 1-to-4 Wilkinson power splitter and combiner.

While the S1 port is AC-coupled in the signal path, it has a DC path

to ground.

The P1, P2, P3, and P4 ports also have DC paths to ground. As a

result, if the DC bias level on any of the ports is not equal to zero,

the ports must be externally AC-coupled.
