PE1BT1000

Overview

The PE1BT1000 is an SMA bias tee from Pasternack, operating from 500 MHz to 10 GHz. It features a maximum VSWR of 1.6:1 and RF-to-bias isolation of at least 40 dB. The device supports up to 700 mA current and 50 Volts DC on the bias port.

Feature Summary

• Provides simultaneous signal transmission and DC power injection via separate ports
• Maintains high isolation between RF and bias paths to prevent interference
• Supports significant DC current and voltage levels for active component powering

Applications

• Biasing low-noise amplifiers in test setups
• Powering active antennas during RF measurements
• Feeding DC control signals to tunable RF components

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required DC current does not exceed 700 mA and voltage remains within 50 Volts. Confirm SMA connector compatibility with existing test fixtures. Ensure the frequency range covers the specific application spectrum above 500 MHz. Check isolation requirements against potential noise sensitivity.

Selection Notes

Select this model when operation above 500 MHz is required. Choose based on the need for 40 dB isolation and 700 mA capacity. Consider the PE1BT1002 if lower frequency or higher current is needed. Evaluate physical size constraints for benchtop integration.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's SMA bias tee series. It complements other RF accessories like the PE1BT1002. These devices facilitate efficient testing of active RF circuits without complex wiring.

Replacement Considerations

The PE1BT1002 offers similar functionality with different electrical ratings.
