Does power splitting needed [hlp]

[No one]

Hello Everyone;
Can we apply 950MHz output signal of a PLL to 2 ICs without power splitter/combiner? What happens? malfunctioning?

When you connect device to the PLL output with no power divider you acctuly create a bed power divider. this mean that if the PLL is 50 ohm at the output and it will not be 50 ohm, so much of the power will return back to the PLL and the output power will be low. another effect that you will see on high frequecy is that one PLL will get higher power then the other.

this will couse the devices sometimes to work and sometimes not to work.

it's not a good idea to splite it without power divider. today there are small power dividers on chip.
