PE70A9026

Overview

The Pasternack PE70A9026 is a negative slope equalizer designed for signal conditioning within the 4 GHz to 8 GHz frequency range. It provides a fixed equalizing value of 6 dB with an insertion loss of 0.6 dB. The component utilizes SMA connectors and operates with a maximum power handling of 250 mW.

Feature Summary

• Provides negative slope equalization to compensate for frequency-dependent signal loss
• Maintains consistent performance across the 4 GHz to 8 GHz operational bandwidth
• Features SMA connector interface for standard RF integration

Applications

• RF signal path compensation in high-frequency test equipment
• Mitigation of cable and connector loss in microwave measurement systems
• Signal integrity enhancement in wireless communication infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific SMA connector gender and mating requirements against your system interface before procurement. Confirm that the 250 mW maximum power rating aligns with your operational signal levels to prevent component damage. Ensure the 4 GHz to 8 GHz frequency coverage matches your application spectrum needs.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed negative slope characteristic is required to balance system response between 4 GHz and 8 GHz. Consider the 0.6 dB insertion loss impact on overall link budget. Compare against positive slope or flat response equalizers if different signal shaping is needed.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's RF signal conditioning series, specifically engineered for precise attenuation and equalization tasks. It serves as a passive linear device used to correct amplitude variations across a defined microwave frequency band without introducing significant distortion.

Replacement Considerations

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