PE2091

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The Pasternack PE2091 is a 50 Ohm, 8-way SMA Wilkinson power divider designed for RF signal distribution. It operates within a frequency range of 690 MHz to 2.7 GHz and is rated for 10 Watts of power handling. The device features SMA female connectors on all ports, ensuring compatibility with standard coaxial systems. Key electrical performance metrics include a maximum VSWR of 1.4, minimum isolation of 20 dB, and maximum imbalance of 8 degrees. This component facilitates precise power splitting in high-frequency applications requiring stable impedance matching and low insertion loss.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Wilkinson topology ensures high port-to-port isolation and matched impedance across all output channels
• Eight distinct output ports provide equal power division from a single input source
• SMA female interface supports direct connection to standard coaxial cables and test equipment

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• Multi-channel RF signal distribution networks
• Phased array antenna feed systems
• Test and measurement instrumentation power splitting
• Wireless communication base station components

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific SMA connector gender and polarity against system requirements before integration. Confirm that the operating frequency range of 690 MHz to 2.7 GHz aligns with the application's spectral needs. Ensure the 10 Watt power rating exceeds the maximum expected signal level to prevent thermal damage. Check for any environmental certifications if deployment occurs in harsh conditions.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when an eight-way split is required rather than two or four-way configurations. Consider the physical size constraints as multi-way dividers may have larger footprints. Evaluate the insertion loss characteristics inherent to eight-way division compared to simpler splitters. Verify that the SMA interface matches existing cabling infrastructure to avoid additional adapters.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's line of RF power dividers and splitters. It utilizes Wilkinson architecture, which is preferred for its ability to maintain isolation between output ports while providing equal power division. The SMA connector series is widely used in microwave and RF applications due to its reliability and ease of use up to several gigahertz.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Users should consult manufacturer catalogs for equivalent 8-way SMA Wilkinson dividers with matching frequency and power specifications.
