PE1637

Overview

The Pasternack PE1637 is a broadband bias tee designed for RF signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of 50 kHz to 26 GHz, providing wideband performance suitable for diverse microwave and radio frequency systems. The device features SMA connectors on its RF ports and a DC BNC connector for power injection. It is rated to handle up to 750 mA of current and withstand voltages up to 25 volts. This three-port network allows for the adjustment of DC bias points in electrical components without disrupting the RF signal path.

Feature Summary

• Provides broadband biasing capability across a wide frequency spectrum from 50 kHz to 26 GHz
• Integrates SMA female RF ports with a DC BNC connector for versatile connectivity
• Functions as a three-port network to isolate DC bias injection from RF signal transmission

Applications

• Biasing RF amplifiers and active components without signal interference
• Signal conditioning in microwave test and measurement setups
• Integration into broadband RF circuits requiring combined DC and AC signal paths

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required DC current does not exceed the 750 mA rating and voltage remains within 25 volts. Confirm interface compatibility, specifically the SMA RF ports and DC BNC connector. Ensure the application frequency falls within the 50 kHz to 26 GHz operational range. Check datasheet for insertion loss and isolation specifications relevant to your specific circuit design requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth extending to 26 GHz is necessary for biasing applications. Consider the physical connector types, SMA and BNC, for system integration. Evaluate the current and voltage ratings against the load requirements. This model is suitable for general-purpose RF wireless miscellaneous applications where broad frequency coverage is critical.
