RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version provided by Pasternack Enterprises, Inc. to confirm current electrical tolerances and mechanical dimensions. Ensure that the required operating frequency and power levels align with the DC-18 GHz range and 1W rating before procurement. Confirm connector gender compatibility with existing system interfaces.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when a broadband resistive divider is required up to 18 GHz. Consider the 7.5 dB typical insertion loss impact on system gain. Verify that the 1W power handling capacity meets the application's maximum signal level requirements. Ensure SMA connector types match the system architecture.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's portfolio of RF power dividers and combiners. It complements other models like the PE2027 and PE2028, which offer different isolation or VSWR characteristics. The PE2068 specifically addresses applications requiring wide bandwidth resistive splitting rather than Wilkinson topologies.
