PE82P2003

Overview

The PE82P2003 is an analog phase shifter manufactured by Pasternack, designed for operation within the 4 GHz to 8 GHz frequency range. It provides a continuous 180-degree phase adjustment capability controlled by an external voltage signal ranging from 0V to +10V. The device exhibits an insertion loss between 5.5 dB and 6 dB across its operational bandwidth. It supports a maximum input power of +27 dBm at the pin, ensuring reliable performance in RF systems requiring precise phase manipulation.

Feature Summary

• Provides continuous 180-degree phase shift control via analog voltage input
• Operates effectively within the 4 GHz to 8 GHz microwave frequency spectrum
• Supports high input power handling up to +27 dBm for robust system integration

Applications

• Phased array antenna beam steering systems
• Microwave communication link phase alignment
• RF test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE82P2003 to confirm mechanical dimensions and connector types prior to procurement. Ensure that the control voltage supply matches the 0V to +10V requirement specified for proper phase modulation. Confirm thermal management needs based on the +27 dBm power rating to maintain component integrity during operation.

Selection Notes

Select the PE82P2003 when a wideband 180-degree phase shift is required between 4 GHz and 8 GHz. Consider the 5.5 to 6 dB insertion loss impact on system gain budget. This component is suitable for applications demanding analog control over phase state rather than digital switching, provided the control interface can accommodate the specified voltage range.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's portfolio of RF and wireless phase detectors and shifters. It serves as a critical element in microwave circuits where dynamic phase adjustment is necessary. The device complements other passive and active RF components used in modern wireless infrastructure and radar applications.

Replacement Considerations

No direct substitute part numbers are publicly confirmed for this specific model. Engineers should evaluate alternative phase shifters with matching 4-8 GHz coverage, 180-degree range, and compatible +27 dBm power handling if replacement is necessary.

FAQ

What is the control voltage range for the PE82P2003?

The device requires an analog control voltage ranging from 0V to +10V to achieve its full 180-degree phase adjustment.

Does the PE82P2003 support digital control interfaces?

No, the PE82P2003 is an analog phase shifter that relies on a continuous voltage input for phase control, not a digital interface.
