PE20DV008

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The Pasternack PE20DV008 is a two-way SMA power divider designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of 800 MHz to 2.4 GHz and is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 20 Watts. The component features SMA connectors with a standard 50 Ohm impedance. Key electrical specifications include a minimum isolation of 20 dB, a maximum phase imbalance of 2 degrees, and a maximum voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.3. The insertion loss is specified at 3.4 dB, ensuring efficient signal distribution across the designated bandwidth.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Provides balanced signal splitting into two output paths
• Maintains consistent 50 Ohm system impedance
• Ensures high port-to-port signal isolation
• Supports stable phase balance between outputs

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• RF signal distribution networks
• Antenna array feed systems
• Test and measurement instrumentation setups
• Wireless communication infrastructure components

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE20DV008 to confirm current manufacturing status and compliance certifications. Ensure that the operating environment remains within the specified thermal limits and that input power does not exceed the 20 Watt rating. Confirm connector compatibility and cable mounting requirements prior to integration to maintain signal integrity and mechanical stability in the final assembly.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select the PE20DV008 when a two-way split is required within the 800 MHz to 2.4 GHz spectrum. This model is suitable for applications demanding low VSWR and precise phase matching. Consider this part if SMA connectivity is necessary and the power levels remain below 20 Watts. Evaluate alternative models only if higher power handling or different frequency ranges are required.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's signal conditioning product line, specifically categorized under RF power dividers. It serves as a passive device for dividing RF energy equally between two ports. The PE20DV008 utilizes coaxial construction with SMA interfaces, distinguishing it from higher-power N-type or lower-frequency alternatives within the broader family of RF splitters and combiners.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other two-way SMA power dividers from Pasternack, such as the PE20DV006 or PE20DV007, provided they meet identical frequency and power specifications. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 50 Ohm impedance and SMA connector type to ensure seamless integration without requiring adapter modifications.
