PE20DV1185

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The PE20DV1185 is an 8-way SMA power divider manufactured by Pasternack, designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of 2 GHz to 18 GHz and features SMA connectors on all ports. The device is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 30 Watts. It maintains a system impedance of 50 Ohms across its operational bandwidth. The unit is constructed for cable mounting installation and functions reliably within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Provides eight-way signal splitting capability for RF distribution networks
• Operates effectively across a wide microwave frequency spectrum up to 18 GHz
• Supports high-power transmission with a 30 Watt rating per port
• Ensures consistent 50 Ohm impedance matching throughout the assembly

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• Multi-antenna array feed systems requiring equal signal distribution
• Test and measurement setups involving parallel signal path analysis
• Wireless communication infrastructure base station signal routing
• Radar system signal distribution networks

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and interface type against project requirements before ordering. Confirm that the 30 Watt power rating aligns with the maximum expected input signal levels in the target application. Ensure the operating temperature range meets environmental conditions. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if required by regulatory standards. Validate cable mounting compatibility with existing chassis or rack structures.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Choose this component when an eight-channel split is necessary rather than two-way or four-way configurations. Consider the SMA interface for compatibility with standard test equipment and modules. Evaluate the 2 GHz to 18 GHz range against the specific frequency bands of operation. Assess the physical dimensions and weight for integration into space-constrained enclosures compared to alternative divider technologies.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's series of signal conditioning components, specifically focusing on power dividers. It complements other models like the PE20DV1275 and PE20DV1211, which offer different port counts and frequency ranges. The product line emphasizes reliable RF performance for industrial and commercial electronics.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 8-way SMA power dividers from Pasternack or competitors offering similar 2-18 GHz specifications. Verify impedance, power handling, and connector types match exactly. Alternative models might differ in insertion loss or isolation characteristics.
