PE1652

Overview

The Pasternack PE1652 is a high-current bias tee designed for RF applications. It operates within a frequency range of 1 GHz to 6 GHz and features SMA connectors. The device is rated for a maximum DC current of 7 Amps and a voltage of 100 Volts on the DC pin. It functions as a three-port network, allowing the injection or extraction of DC bias without affecting the RF signal path. The unit supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to 105°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides broadband DC biasing capability across the 1 GHz to 6 GHz frequency spectrum
• Supports high current loads up to 7 Amps with 100 Volt rating
• Utilizes SMA connectors for reliable RF and DC interface connections
• Operates reliably in extreme temperatures ranging from -55°C to 105°C

Applications

• Adjusting DC bias points of electrical components without signal interference
• RF circuit testing and characterization requiring simultaneous DC and AC signals
• Biasing active RF devices such as amplifiers or oscillators

Procurement Notes
