PE70A9014

Overview

The Pasternack PE70A9014 is a coaxial gain equalizer designed for high-frequency applications. It operates within a frequency range of 18 GHz to 40 GHz. The device provides a fixed equalizing value of 1.5 dB with a positive slope characteristic. Insertion loss is specified between 2 dB and 4 dB. The unit utilizes SMA connectors for interface connections.

Feature Summary

• Provides linear signal equalization across the microwave spectrum
• Features a positive slope gain profile for frequency compensation
• Utilizes SMA connector interfaces for system integration

Applications

• Microwave communication systems requiring frequency response correction
• Test and measurement instrumentation calibration
• General purpose RF signal conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific SMA connector gender and polarity requirements against your system interface before procurement. Confirm that the 18-40 GHz operational range aligns with your application's frequency needs. Ensure the 1.5 dB fixed equalization value meets your signal integrity specifications. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if required by your manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed positive slope equalization is required rather than variable adjustment. Consider the insertion loss range of 2 to 4 dB in your link budget calculations. Verify that SMA connectors are compatible with your existing cabling infrastructure. Evaluate the physical size constraints as it is a discrete coaxial component.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Pasternack RF equalizer family, which includes various gain and attenuation solutions. It is distinct from step attenuators like the PE70A series due to its fixed equalization function. The product is categorized under general purpose RF components suitable for broadband applications.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available for direct replacement.
