PE70A9009

Overview

The PE70A9009 is a linear equalizer designed for general-purpose RF applications, manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within a frequency range of 2 GHz to 12 GHz and features SMA connectors. The device provides a fixed equalizing value of 7 dB with a positive slope characteristic. It exhibits an insertion loss of 1.5 dB. This component is classified as an active product intended for signal conditioning in high-frequency circuits.

Feature Summary

• Provides positive slope equalization for frequency/gain correction
• Features SMA connector interface for integration
• Delivers fixed 7 dB equalizing value across operating band

Applications

• RF signal conditioning
• Frequency response compensation
• Gain stabilization in communication systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and mechanical dimensions prior to procurement. Confirm that the SMA connector polarity and mating requirements align with the target system design. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental specifications of the intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed positive slope equalization is required between 2 GHz and 12 GHz. Consider the 1.5 dB insertion loss impact on system gain budget. Verify compatibility with existing SMA infrastructure and ensure the 7 dB fixed value matches the specific frequency response correction needs of the application.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's line of RF variable attenuators and equalizers. It serves as a specialized passive/active hybrid component for maintaining signal integrity in wideband RF systems. The PE70A9009 is distinct from standard attenuators by providing frequency-dependent gain adjustment rather than uniform attenuation.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available.
