PE2078

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The PE2078 is a two-way 2.92mm power divider manufactured by Pasternack Enterprises, Inc., designed for high-frequency RF applications. It operates within a frequency range of 10 GHz to 40 GHz. The component features a maximum insertion loss between 1.5 dB and 2 dB, ensuring efficient signal distribution. It provides a minimum isolation of 15 dB between output ports to minimize signal interference. The imbalance is maintained at a maximum of 6 degrees, and the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) does not exceed 1.8.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Two-way power division capability using 2.92mm coaxial interface
• Operates across an ultra-wideband spectrum from 10 GHz to 40 GHz
• Provides minimum 15 dB port-to-port isolation for signal integrity

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• High-frequency test and measurement instrumentation
• Millimeter-wave communication systems
• RF signal distribution networks requiring wide bandwidth

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector configuration and tolerance requirements against the official Pasternack datasheet before ordering. Confirm that the operating environment aligns with the specified 10-40 GHz frequency range. Ensure that system impedance matches the component specifications to maintain optimal VSWR performance. Check for any specific packaging or handling instructions provided in the product documentation.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select the PE2078 when a wideband power split is required above 10 GHz. The 2.92mm interface offers superior performance compared to standard SMA connectors at these frequencies. Consider the 1.5-2 dB insertion loss impact on system gain. Evaluate the 15 dB isolation requirement against potential crosstalk issues in dense RF layouts. This component is suitable for applications demanding low VSWR and precise phase balance.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack series of RF power dividers and splitters. It utilizes the 2.92mm connector standard, which supports higher frequencies than SMA while maintaining similar form factors. The device functions as both a splitter and combiner, allowing bidirectional signal flow. It is engineered for stability in millimeter-wave environments where connector precision is critical for minimizing reflections.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Users must verify compatibility with existing 2.92mm interfaces if considering alternative manufacturers. Direct replacement requires matching the 10-40 GHz frequency range and 2-way division topology.
