We are not profiting in these

HP/Agilent 5086-7744 1ST LO active splitter /  Distribution Amplifier coupler rated for 3-6.8 but works from 1-8.5 GHz no problem.

I have a bunch of these. Perfect for product development or doing mods. If you need details like voltage specs on terminals i can get that if needed.

Ive never come across a bad one in my 20 yrs of repairs

And it just needs one voltage and one ground!

When you add a 5v supply to it it amplifies a few DB and splits the signal to two paths ie: 12-13db going in, two paths going out at around 16-18db  and a third coupled/ sample output of approx -15db or so . To have these characteristics we have found it needs a control voltage to tell it how much to amplify. Unsure of the exact amounts but if nothing is connected then it maxes out at around 30 DBm of gain.Designed for low phase noise amplification of a yig tuned oscillator distribution amp but can be used for any type of product design of low noise needing active splitting and  or coupled output for a sampler etc…
