PE2083

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The PE2083 is a 50 Ohm, 2-way resistive power divider manufactured by Pasternack Enterprises. It features 2.92mm female connectors and operates from DC to 26.5 GHz. The device is rated for a maximum input power of 1 Watt. Key electrical specifications include a maximum insertion loss of 8.5 dB, a maximum input VSWR of 1.4:1, phase balance flatness of ±4 degrees, and amplitude flatness of 1 dB. The housing is constructed from passivated stainless steel.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Resistive design provides broadband performance across the specified frequency range.
• Utilizes 2.92mm female connectors for high-frequency signal integrity.
• Constructed with passivated stainless steel housing for durability.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• RF signal distribution in microwave test and measurement setups
• Signal splitting in wireless communication systems
• Power division in radar and satellite ground stations

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the PE2083 part number to ensure compatibility with 2.92mm interfaces. Confirm that the application environment remains within the -65 to +125 degrees Celsius operating temperature range. Ensure that the RF signal power does not exceed the 1 Watt maximum rating to prevent component damage. Check connector gender and impedance requirements against system specifications before integration.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when a resistive splitter is required for frequencies up to 26.5 GHz. Choose based on the need for 2.92mm connectivity rather than SMA or other interface types. Consider the higher insertion loss inherent to resistive designs compared to hybrid alternatives. Verify that the 1 Watt power handling capacity meets the system's signal level requirements.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This component belongs to the category of RF power dividers and splitters. It serves as a passive signal conditioning device used to divide an input signal into two output paths. The product line focuses on high-frequency applications requiring precise impedance matching and broad bandwidth capabilities.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

The PE2084 is a similar resistive power divider but utilizes SMA connectors and operates up to 18 GHz. Substitution requires verifying connector interface compatibility and ensuring the lower frequency limit of the replacement meets system requirements.
