PE85N1002

Overview

The PE85N1002 is a calibrated RF noise source module manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within a frequency range of 10 MHz to 6 GHz and utilizes an SMA connector interface. The device requires a +28 VDC power supply for operation. It provides an excess noise ratio (ENR) output of 15 dB. This component belongs to the Calibrated RF Noise Source Generators series and is designed for precise radio frequency testing applications.

Feature Summary

• Provides calibrated noise generation for RF system characterization
• Operates with standard +28 VDC power input
• Features SMA connector interface for signal transmission

Applications

• RF receiver sensitivity testing
• Noise figure measurement systems
• Calibration of spectrum analyzers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version before integration, as specifications may be subject to revision. Confirm that the required +28 VDC power supply matches the module's electrical requirements. Ensure the SMA connector type aligns with existing test fixtures. Check current availability status through authorized distributors, as stock levels fluctuate. Validate RoHS compliance documentation if required for your manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 15 dB ENR is required across the 10 MHz to 6 GHz band. Compare against the PE85N1003 if a higher 26 dB ENR is needed for similar frequency ranges. Ensure the SMA interface compatibility with your DUT. Consider the bulk packaging format for individual unit handling. Verify power supply stability meets the +28 VDC requirement for consistent noise performance.

Part Context

This component is part of Pasternack’s Calibrated RF Noise Source Generators series. It serves as a reference noise generator for characterizing RF components. The module is distinct from cable assemblies in the manufacturer's catalog. It is categorized under wireless and RF modules. The product is identified by the manufacturer number PE85N1002.

Replacement Considerations

The PE85N1003 is a documented substitute offering 26 dB ENR within the same frequency range. Verify if the increased ENR affects your calibration calculations. No other direct substitutes are confirmed in public documentation.
