PE2048

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The PE2048 is a 75 Ohm, two-way BNC power divider manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within a frequency range of 2 MHz to 500 MHz and is rated for 1 Watt of power. Key electrical specifications include a minimum isolation of 25 dB, a maximum imbalance of 2 degrees, and a maximum VSWR of 1.35. The component utilizes BNC female connectors for input and output ports, designed for signal conditioning applications requiring precise power splitting in the specified frequency band.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Provides two-way power division with 75 Ohm impedance matching
• Operates across a broadband frequency range from 2 MHz to 500 MHz
• Ensures high signal integrity with minimum 25 dB isolation between ports

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• RF signal distribution systems
• Broadband test and measurement setups
• Video signal processing circuits

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and impedance rating against system requirements before ordering. Confirm that the operating frequency falls within the 2 MHz to 500 MHz range to ensure optimal performance. Check for any updated revision numbers or suffixes that may indicate minor manufacturing changes while maintaining functional equivalence. Ensure handling procedures comply with ESD standards for precision RF components.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when a 75 Ohm impedance environment is required rather than the standard 50 Ohm. It is suitable for applications needing wideband splitting capabilities up to 500 MHz. Consider the 1 Watt power rating to ensure it meets the system's power handling needs without saturation or damage. Evaluate the physical size and mounting style if space constraints are critical.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's line of RF power dividers and splitters. It is specifically designed for 75 Ohm systems, distinguishing it from their more common 50 Ohm offerings. The product serves as a passive signal conditioning device, essential for dividing RF energy evenly among multiple paths in professional audio, video, and telecommunications infrastructure.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 75 Ohm impedance, BNC interface, and 2-500 MHz frequency range. Verify that alternative parts meet the same isolation and VSWR specifications to maintain system performance. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 75 Ohm splitter catalogs for equivalent mechanical and electrical properties.
