PE70A9031

Overview

The Pasternack PE70A9031 is a signal conditioning negative slope equalizer designed for the 6 GHz to 18 GHz frequency range. It provides a fixed equalizing value of 6 dB with an insertion loss of 0.7 dB. The component operates with a maximum power input of 150 mW and utilizes SMA connectors.

Feature Summary

• Provides negative slope signal equalization within the specified microwave frequency band
• Delivers a fixed attenuation profile to compensate for system frequency response variations
• Engineered for low insertion loss to maintain signal integrity during conditioning

Applications

• Microwave test and measurement systems requiring frequency response correction
• Radio frequency circuit design for high-frequency signal conditioning
• Communication equipment calibration and signal path optimization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific SMA connector gender and pin configuration against your schematic requirements before ordering. Confirm that the 150 mW maximum power rating aligns with your operational signal levels to prevent component damage. Ensure the 6 dB fixed equalization value matches your system's specific compensation needs rather than using it as a variable solution.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed negative slope characteristic is required between 6 GHz and 18 GHz. It is suitable for applications needing precise 6 dB equalization with minimal 0.7 dB insertion loss. Consider its 150 mW power handling limit when integrating into high-power RF chains or sensitive measurement setups requiring strict signal conditioning parameters.

Part Context

This device belongs to Pasternack's line of RF miscellaneous ICs and modules, specifically categorized under signal conditioning components. It serves as a specialized passive element for managing frequency-dependent signal degradation in high-frequency electronic circuits, distinct from standard attenuators or amplifiers.

Replacement Considerations
