PE8507

Overview

The PE8507 is a calibrated RF noise source module manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within a frequency range of 4 GHz to 8 GHz and utilizes SMA connectors for interface. The device requires a +28 VDC power supply for operation. It provides an excess noise ratio (ENR) output of 30 dB, designed for precise radio frequency component testing standards.

Feature Summary

• Provides calibrated noise generation for RF system characterization
• Features SMA male to SMA female connector configuration
• Designed as an inline module for signal path integration

Applications

• RF noise figure measurement systems
• Calibration of RF test equipment
• Verification of receiver sensitivity in wireless systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from Pasternack Enterprises, Inc. to confirm current manufacturing status and technical specifications. Ensure that the required +28 VDC power supply aligns with your system's power infrastructure before integration. Confirm that the SMA connector gender matches your existing test setup requirements to avoid adapter usage.

Selection Notes

Select this module when a stable 30 dB ENR is required across the 4 to 8 GHz band. Consider the inline form factor for direct insertion into transmission lines. Verify compatibility with standard SMA interfaces and ensure the power supply voltage meets the +28 VDC specification for proper operation.
