Procurement Notes

Verify the specific SMA connector gender and cable attachment requirements against your system schematic before ordering. Confirm that the operating frequency range of 6 GHz to 18 GHz aligns with your application needs. Ensure the insertion loss specifications are acceptable for your link budget calculations. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if required by your procurement policy.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed positive slope equalization of approximately 6.8 dB is required between 6 GHz and 18 GHz. Consider the insertion loss range of 1.5 dB to 3 dB in your power budget analysis. Ensure SMA connectivity matches your existing infrastructure. This part is suitable for applications needing consistent gain correction over a wide microwave bandwidth.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack PE70A series of RF attenuators and equalizers. It is categorized as a linear equalizer designed for general-purpose RF applications. The product is distinct from variable step attenuators in the same family, offering fixed frequency-dependent gain characteristics rather than adjustable attenuation steps.
