PE2004

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The PE2004 is a four-way BNC female power divider manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within a frequency range of 10 MHz to 1 GHz. The component is rated for a maximum input power of 1 Watt. Key electrical specifications include a minimum isolation of 20 dB and a maximum voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.7:1. This reactive design ensures signal distribution across four output ports while maintaining impedance characteristics suitable for RF applications.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Four-way signal distribution capability using BNC female connectors
• Reactive circuit design for efficient power splitting
• Operates effectively from 10 MHz up to 1 GHz

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• RF signal distribution in test and measurement setups
• Splitting signals for multi-channel monitoring systems
• Base station antenna feed networks

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when ordering, as manufacturer documentation may be updated. Confirm that the 1 Watt power rating aligns with your system's peak power requirements. Ensure connector compatibility with existing BNC infrastructure. Check for any recent revisions to the isolation or VSWR specifications in the official Pasternack product literature before finalizing procurement.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this model when a four-way split is required within the 10 MHz to 1 GHz band. It is suitable for low-power applications limited to 1 Watt. Consider the 20 dB isolation if crosstalk between output ports is a concern. The BNC interface dictates compatibility with standard BNC cables and equipment. Evaluate whether the 1.7:1 VSWR meets the return loss requirements of your specific RF chain.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's passive RF power divider series. It serves as a fundamental building block for distributing RF energy equally among multiple paths. Unlike active splitters, it requires no external power. The BNC form factor provides a compact solution for benchtop or panel-mounted configurations where moderate bandwidth and low power handling are sufficient.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. When replacing, ensure the new component matches the 10 MHz-1 GHz frequency range, 1 Watt power rating, and BNC female interface. Verify that isolation and VSWR parameters meet or exceed the original PE2004 specifications.
