PE85N1000

Overview

The PE85N1000 is a calibrated RF noise source module manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within a frequency range of 0.01 MHz to 2 GHz and provides an Excess Noise Ratio (ENR) output of 15 dB. The device requires a +28 VDC power supply for operation. It features SMA connectors for interface compatibility. The unit has a flatness specification of ± 1.5 dB across its operating band. This component is designed as an RF noise generator adhering to precise radio frequency component standards.

Feature Summary

• Provides calibrated excess noise ratio output for signal testing
• Operates with standard +28 VDC power supply requirements
• Features SMA connector interfaces for integration

Applications

• RF system calibration
• Noise figure measurement
• Receiver sensitivity testing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ENR value and frequency range against the official datasheet before procurement, as variations exist within the PE85N series. Confirm that the required +28 VDC power supply matches your test equipment capabilities. Ensure SMA connector compatibility with existing DUT interfaces. Check regional availability status through authorized distributors, as stock levels may vary.

Selection Notes

Select the PE85N1000 when a calibrated noise source covering up to 2 GHz is required. Compare the 15 dB ENR specification against other models like the PE85N1003 if higher frequencies are needed. Verify that the SMA interface suits the application. Consider the flatness specification of ± 1.5 dB for precision requirements. Ensure the power supply voltage aligns with available test equipment.

Part Context

The PE85N1000 belongs to Pasternack's calibrated RF noise source generators series. It is categorized under wireless and RF modules. The product is identified by manufacturer number PE85N1000. It is distinct from cable assemblies in the same brand portfolio. The component is listed as active in some distributor catalogs.

Replacement Considerations

The PE85N1003 is a related model offering a 26 dB ENR and a frequency range up to 6 GHz. Select this alternative only if higher frequency coverage or different ENR values are required. Verify connector types and power requirements remain compatible.
