PE2021

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The Pasternack PE2021 is a four-way SMA Wilkinson power divider designed for RF and microwave applications. It operates within a frequency range of 7 GHz to 12.4 GHz and is rated for a maximum input power of 10 Watts. The component features SMA female connectors on all ports, providing a compact module solution for signal distribution. Key electrical specifications include a minimum isolation of 16 dB, a maximum imbalance of 6 degrees, and a maximum voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.55.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Wilkinson architecture ensures high port-to-port isolation across the operating band
• Four output ports provide equal signal splitting from a single input
• SMA female connectors facilitate standard coaxial integration

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• RF signal distribution networks
• Microwave measurement test setups
• Phased array antenna feed systems

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific unit matches the PE2021 designation for the 7-12.4 GHz frequency range and 10W power rating. Confirm connector type is SMA female. Ensure environmental conditions align with the component's operational limits. Request datasheet confirmation for critical parameters such as VSWR and isolation if required for strict system compliance.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when a four-way split is required between 7 GHz and 12.4 GHz. The 10W power handling capability suits moderate power levels. Consider the 1.55 max VSWR for impedance matching requirements. The SMA interface dictates connector compatibility with existing cabling infrastructure. Evaluate space constraints as it is a module form factor.
