PE20DV001

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The PE20DV001 is a 3-way SMA power divider manufactured by Pasternack, designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of 2 GHz to 8 GHz and maintains a system impedance of 50 Ohms. The component is rated for a maximum continuous wave (CW) input power of 30 Watts. It features SMA connectors for interface and is constructed as a cable-mount unit. The device weighs approximately 76 grams and functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Provides equal power division among three output ports
• Supports high-power RF signal distribution up to 30 Watts
• Operates effectively across the 2 GHz to 8 GHz frequency spectrum

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• RF signal distribution in communication systems
• Test and measurement setups requiring multi-port signal splitting
• Antenna array feed networks

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify that the required frequency range aligns with the 2 GHz to 8 GHz specification before procurement. Confirm that the system impedance matches the 50 Ohm requirement to ensure proper signal integrity. Ensure the installed environment supports the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. Check connector compatibility with existing SMA interfaces. Review the manufacturer datasheet for detailed electrical performance characteristics and mechanical dimensions.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this model when a three-way split is required rather than a two-way configuration. Consider the 30 Watt power rating to ensure it exceeds the maximum expected signal level in the application. Evaluate the SMA connector type against available cabling infrastructure. Assess the physical size constraints, noting the cable-mount installation style. Compare against other Pasternack series if different port counts or connector types are needed.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack Power Dividers product line, categorized under Signal Conditioning. It is part of a family of RF splitters designed for distributing signals evenly. The PE20DV001 specifically addresses needs for three-port distribution in the UHF and microwave bands. It complements other models like the PE20DV012 which offers four-way division at lower frequencies.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

For equivalent functionality, consider the PE20DV012 for four-way division or the PE20DV1211 for lower frequency ranges. Verify that substitute parts maintain the 50 Ohm impedance and compatible SMA connectors. Ensure replacement components meet or exceed the 30 Watt power handling capability.
