PE2008

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The Pasternack PE2008 is a two-way SMA power divider designed for RF signal distribution. It operates within a frequency range of 500 MHz to 1,000 MHz and supports a maximum input power of 10 Watts. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance system with SMA female connectors. Key electrical specifications include a minimum isolation of 22 dB and a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.2.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Provides equal power splitting between two output ports from a single input
• Maintains consistent 50 Ohm impedance across the operational bandwidth
• Ensures high signal isolation between output channels to prevent interference

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• RF signal distribution in communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment setups
• Wireless infrastructure signal routing

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE2008 to confirm current manufacturing status and exact tolerances. Ensure compatibility with existing SMA connector interfaces and verify that the 10 Watt power rating aligns with your system's peak power requirements before integration.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select the PE2008 when a compact solution is needed for splitting signals in the 500 MHz to 1 GHz band. Its SMA interface offers broad availability and ease of integration into standard coaxial test environments. Consider the 22 dB isolation specification if channel separation is critical for your application design.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack’s line of passive RF microwave components. Power dividers like the PE2008 are essential for dividing input signals into multiple paths while maintaining impedance matching. They are commonly used in antenna arrays and balanced mixer circuits where signal integrity is paramount.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

Consult official Pasternack documentation for direct cross-reference part numbers. Generic splitters may not match the specific 22 dB isolation or 1.2 VSWR performance metrics required for precise applications.
