PE20S0016

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The Pasternack PE20S0016 is a 4-way broadband combiner designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of 2 GHz to 6 GHz and utilizes SMA connectors for interface connectivity. The component features a minimum isolation of 10 dB, a typical imbalance of 5 degrees, and a maximum voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.3. This module integrates passive RF combining functions into a compact form factor suitable for high-frequency circuit integration.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Four-way power combining capability across a broad microwave frequency spectrum
• High port-to-port isolation ensuring minimal signal interference between channels
• Low insertion loss characteristics with controlled phase imbalance for signal integrity

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• Multi-channel RF signal aggregation in communication systems
• Phased array antenna feed networks
• Test and measurement instrumentation signal combining

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for precise electrical tolerances before integration. Confirm connector polarity and mating compatibility with existing SMA infrastructure. Ensure environmental ratings meet operational requirements. Cross-reference pinout diagrams if custom cabling is involved. Validate that the 10 dB isolation specification aligns with system noise floor constraints.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this model when four independent signals require combination into a single output path within the 2-6 GHz band. Consider the 1.3 VSWR limit for impedance matching requirements. Evaluate thermal management needs based on total input power handling. Compare against lower-order dividers if fewer ports are sufficient. Assess physical dimensions for enclosure fitment.
