PE1633

Overview

The PE1633 is a broadband bias tee manufactured by Pasternack, designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of 50 kHz to 18 GHz and utilizes SMA connectors for RF and DC interfaces. The component is rated to handle up to 750 mA of current and supports voltages up to 25 Volts. This configuration allows for the simultaneous transmission of RF signals and DC power over a single coaxial line, ensuring minimal signal interference across its specified bandwidth.

Feature Summary

• Broadband operation spanning from low frequencies up to 18 GHz
• Integrated SMA connectors for both RF and DC ports
• Capable of handling high current loads up to 750 mA
• Supports DC voltage ratings up to 25 Volts

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in test and measurement equipment
• Biasing active components in wireless communication systems
• Signal integrity maintenance in broadband circuit designs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and pin configuration against your system requirements before procurement. Ensure that the operating voltage and current limits do not exceed the 25 Volt and 750 mA ratings documented in the official datasheet. Confirm compatibility with existing SMA infrastructure to prevent interface mismatches during installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide frequency response extending to 18 GHz is required for biasing applications. Consider the 750 mA current rating if powering high-drain active devices. Verify that the SMA interface matches the host system's connector type to ensure seamless integration without requiring additional adapters or modifications.
