PE85N1005

Overview

The PE85N1005 is an SMA calibrated noise source module manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within a frequency range of 1 GHz to 18 GHz and provides an output Excess Noise Ratio (ENR) of 23 dB. The device requires a +28 VDC power supply, with an acceptable voltage range of 22V to 30V. Key performance specifications include a flatness of ± 2 dB and a temperature coefficient of less than 0.01 dB/°C. The unit features an SMA female connector interface and weighs approximately 26.3 grams.

Feature Summary

• Provides calibrated RF noise generation for testing applications
• Features high stability with low temperature and voltage coefficients
• Utilizes SMA female connector interface for broadband operation

Applications

• Noise figure measurement systems
• Receiver sensitivity testing
• RF component characterization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE85N1005 to confirm current manufacturing status and exact electrical tolerances. Ensure that the power supply unit matches the required +28 VDC specification and polarity. Confirm that the SMA female interface is compatible with the test setup connectors. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if required for your assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this module when a broadband noise source covering 1 GHz to 18 GHz is required. The 23 dB ENR value is suitable for standard noise figure measurements. Consider the SMA interface compatibility with existing test equipment. Evaluate the need for the specified temperature stability if operating in varying environmental conditions.
