PE70A9028

Overview

The PE70A9028 is a negative slope equalizer manufactured by Pasternack, designed for signal conditioning applications within the 4 GHz to 12 GHz frequency range. It provides a fixed equalizing value of 6 dB with a maximum insertion loss of 0.5 dB. The component supports a maximum input power of 250 mW and utilizes SMA female connectors for interconnection.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed negative slope equalization to compensate for frequency-dependent signal loss
• Operates across a wide microwave frequency band from 4 GHz to 12 GHz
• Features low insertion loss characteristics to preserve signal integrity

Applications

• Microwave communication systems requiring frequency response correction
• Test and measurement equipment calibration setups
• Radar system signal path conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific SMA connector gender and impedance rating against your system requirements before integration. Confirm that the 250 mW power handling capacity meets your operational peak power levels. Ensure the 4 GHz to 12 GHz frequency range aligns with your target application spectrum. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if environmental regulations apply to your deployment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed negative slope characteristic is required rather than variable attenuation. Consider the 0.5 dB insertion loss impact on overall link budget calculations. Evaluate the SMA interface compatibility with existing cabling infrastructure. Assess whether the 6 dB fixed value adequately addresses the specific frequency tilt issues in your design.

Part Context

This unit belongs to Pasternack's RF IC Linear Equalizer category, specifically engineered for general-purpose signal conditioning. It serves as a passive component to balance frequency responses in high-frequency circuits. The device complements other RF interconnect solutions by addressing amplitude variations across its specified bandwidth.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available for this specific model.
