PE2001

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The Pasternack PE2001 is a 4-way reactive power divider designed for RF signal distribution. It operates within a frequency range of 2 MHz to 500 MHz and features BNC female connectors on all ports. The device is rated for 1 Watt of continuous wave (CW) power handling capacity. Key electrical specifications include a maximum insertion loss of 1.5 dB, minimum isolation of 22 dB, maximum phase imbalance of 3 degrees, and a maximum VSWR of 1.25. The unit measures 3.445 inches in length, 1.744 inches in width, and 0.939 inches in height.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Provides four output ports for equal signal splitting from a single input source
• Utilizes BNC female connectors for straightforward cable integration
• Maintains low phase imbalance and high isolation between output channels

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• RF test and measurement setups requiring signal distribution
• Multi-channel antenna array feeding systems
• Signal monitoring and sampling applications

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and interface type against your system requirements before purchase. Confirm that the 1 Watt power rating aligns with your operational signal levels to prevent component damage. Ensure the frequency range covers your intended application spectrum. Check physical dimensions for compatibility with existing mounting infrastructure.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this model when a four-way split is required within the 2-500 MHz band. Consider the BNC interface if it matches your existing cabling infrastructure. Evaluate the 1.5 dB insertion loss impact on your system budget. Compare against other splitter configurations if different port counts or connector types are needed.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack family of RF power dividers and splitters. It serves as a passive signal distribution device, contrasting with active amplifiers or combiners. The PE2001 specifically addresses scenarios where one signal source must drive multiple loads simultaneously across a broad mid-frequency range.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

The PE2000 is a documented 2-way variant from the same manufacturer series. Verify port count requirements before substitution, as the PE2000 provides only two outputs. Ensure connector types and frequency ranges remain compatible with the original design intent.
