PE7022-20

Overview

The Pasternack PE7022-20 is a fixed attenuator module designed for radio frequency applications. It provides a nominal attenuation value of 20 dB with an impedance of 50 Ohms. The device operates within a frequency range from DC to 1.5 GHz and supports a maximum input power rating of 100 Watts at the specified attenuation level. It utilizes SMA male-to-female connectors for inline integration into RF signal chains.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise 20 dB signal reduction in a compact inline module format
• Supports high power handling capabilities up to 100 Watts
• Operates effectively across a broad frequency spectrum from DC to 1.5 GHz

Applications

• RF signal chain calibration and testing setups
• High-power microwave system attenuation requirements
• Laboratory measurement equipment interconnects

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration and power rating against your system requirements before procurement. Confirm that the operating frequency range up to 1.5 GHz aligns with your application needs. Ensure compatibility with standard 50 Ohm systems. Check for any specific environmental or mounting constraints relevant to your installation environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 20 dB attenuation is required in high-power environments. It is suitable for systems operating up to 1.5 GHz where SMA connectivity is standard. Consider the 100 Watt power rating for robust signal management. Evaluate space constraints as it is a modular inline design.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's line of fixed RF attenuators, which are essential components for managing signal levels in microwave and radio frequency circuits. These modules are typically used to protect sensitive downstream equipment or to adjust signal strength for accurate measurements in test and measurement scenarios.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other manufacturers' 20 dB fixed attenuators with SMA female-to-female or male-to-male configurations depending on the existing circuit topology. Ensure equivalent power handling (100W) and frequency coverage (DC-1.5GHz) are maintained. Verify impedance matching remains at 50 Ohms.
