PE2044

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The Pasternack PE2044 is a two-way N-type female power divider designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of 2 MHz to 500 MHz and is rated for a maximum input power of 1 Watt. The component features an insertion loss of 1 dB, with a minimum isolation of 25 dB between output ports. Maximum voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is specified at 1.35. The physical dimensions are 1.752 inches in length, 1.669 inches in width, and 0.949 inches in height.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Provides equal power splitting across two output ports using N-type female connectors
• Maintains high port-to-port isolation to minimize signal interference
• Supports low voltage standing wave ratio for efficient signal transmission

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• RF signal distribution in communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment setups
• Antenna array feed networks

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE2044 to confirm current RoHS compliance status and detailed mechanical tolerances. Ensure that the required operating frequency range falls strictly within the 2 MHz to 500 MHz specification. Confirm that the system power levels do not exceed the 1 Watt rating to prevent component damage. Check connector gender and interface compatibility with existing cabling infrastructure before finalizing procurement orders.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select the PE2044 when a compact, two-way split is required for frequencies up to 500 MHz. This model is suitable for applications demanding minimal insertion loss and moderate isolation. Consider the N-type connector interface for compatibility with standard coaxial cables. Evaluate the physical size constraints against the specified dimensions to ensure proper fit within the intended enclosure or chassis layout.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

The PE2044 belongs to Pasternack's series of RF power dividers and splitters. These components are engineered for reliable signal distribution in radio frequency environments. The device utilizes precision internal circuitry to maintain amplitude balance between outputs. It serves as a passive component in larger RF chains, facilitating signal branching without active amplification.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

Pasternack PE2045 is a documented substitute offering similar functionality with an extended frequency range up to 1 GHz. Verify that the higher frequency capability of the PE2045 does not introduce impedance mismatches in lower-frequency designs.
