PE1654

Overview

The PE1654 is a broadband bias tee manufactured by Pasternack, designed for RF and wireless applications. It operates within a frequency range of 1 GHz to 6 GHz and features SMA connectors. The device is rated for a maximum voltage of 100 Volts and a maximum current of 7 Amps (7000 mA). It supports up to 50 Watts of power handling with an insertion loss of 0.5 dB. The unit functions as a three-port network to adjust DC bias points without affecting RF signals.

Feature Summary

• Provides DC biasing capability while maintaining signal integrity in the 1 GHz to 6 GHz frequency band
• Supports high current loads up to 7 Amps and voltages up to 100 Volts
• Utilizes SMA connectors for reliable interface connections

Applications

• Adjusting DC bias points for electrical components in RF systems
• Integration into broadband RF test and measurement setups
• Wireless infrastructure component biasing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type and rating requirements against the datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the operating environment temperature falls within the specified -55°C to 105°C range. Ensure the DC current and voltage limits do not exceed the 7 Amp and 100 Volt ratings respectively. Check for compatibility with existing SMA interfaces in the system design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a broadband solution is required between 1 GHz and 6 GHz. It is suitable for applications demanding high current capacity up to 7 Amps. Consider the 50 Watt power handling and low insertion loss characteristics for efficient signal transmission. Verify that the SMA interface matches the system's connector standards.

Part Context

The PE1654 belongs to Pasternack's line of RF and wireless bias tees. It serves as a three-port network device specifically engineered to inject DC power into RF lines. This allows for the independent adjustment of DC bias points for active components without disrupting the RF signal path, making it essential for modern RF system architectures.

Replacement Considerations
