PE1661

Overview

The PE1661 is an ultra-wide band bias tee manufactured by Pasternack, designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of 0.05 MHz to 110 GHz. The device features a 1.0 mm female input connector and a 1.0 mm male output connector for the RF path. An SMC male connector is provided for DC bias injection. The unit is rated to handle a maximum DC voltage of 16 Volts and a maximum current of 400 mA.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-wide bandwidth coverage from low frequencies up to 110 GHz
• Integrated 1.0 mm coaxial interface for high-frequency RF transmission
• Dedicated SMC male port for independent DC bias supply
• Capable of supporting significant DC current loads for active components

Applications

• Biasing high-frequency semiconductor devices in test setups
• Integrating into measurement systems requiring combined DC and RF signals
• Signal conditioning in ultra-wideband communication research

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and size compatibility with your system before ordering. Confirm that the DC voltage and current ratings meet the requirements of the connected load. Ensure the operating frequency range aligns with your application needs. Check for any specific environmental or handling instructions provided in the official datasheet.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an ultra-wide frequency response extending to 110 GHz is required. The 1.0 mm connector choice suits high-density or high-performance interconnects. Consider the SMC bias port convenience for standard DC injection methods. Evaluate the 16V/400mA limits against the target device's power requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's line of signal conditioning components, specifically bias tees. These devices are essential for injecting DC power onto RF lines without disrupting the signal integrity. The PE1661 utilizes advanced 1.0 mm connector technology to maintain performance at millimeter-wave frequencies.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Users should verify electrical specifications such as insertion loss, VSWR, and DC rating when considering alternative manufacturers or models.
