Distributed Elements is a continuation of decades of research and development in very high power broadband RF and microwave passive components.  Our engineers and consultants have designed power combiners, dividers, split-biners, hybrid couplers, filters, and specialty adapters deployed in some of the largest RF and microwave amplifiers on earth, for military and commercial EMC test applications, naval- and flight-based systems, and phased arrays.  We have designed and produced custom integrations, reducing system loss and cost beyond any modular approach.  In cases where the physical size of the system is large, such as numerous 19” racks, we have developed combining systems which reduce cabling length and system loss to offer best overall cost.

 

Our primary work is in multi-octave and decade bands from 50 MHz to 40 GHz, in coaxial, waveguide, double-ridge waveguide, and various planar technologies.  We employ Dassault SIMULIA CST Studio Suite 3D simulation in all designs, for EM simulation, thermal simulation, voltage breakdown, tolerance and yield analysis, for first-turn success in nearly every case.  Our product specifications include accurate de-rating guides for mounting temperature, altitude, and load VSWR, based on a combination of accurate 3D simulation and measured data, checked against decades of experience in the design and production of high power RF and microwave amplifier systems.

 

The majority of our product design is driven by custom request.  Please contact us with a description of your requirement.  Our design, fabrication, and manufacturing is 100% in the USA.
