PE85N1011

Overview

The PE85N1011 is a miniature amplified low pressure noise source module manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within a frequency range of 10 MHz to 2 GHz, providing an output power (Pout) of 0 dBm. The device requires a +15 VDC supply voltage and draws a current of 90 mA. It features SMA connectors for interface and maintains a flatness specification of ± 2.0 dB across its operating band. This coaxial packaged RF component is designed for precise radio frequency applications requiring stable noise generation.

Feature Summary

• Amplified noise source design with high crest factor capability
• Wide operational frequency coverage from 10 MHz to 2 GHz
• Integrated SMA connector interface for direct system integration

Applications

• RF receiver sensitivity testing
• Noise figure measurement systems
• Calibration of RF test equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when ordering, as manufacturer specifications may be updated. Confirm that the required +15 VDC supply voltage aligns with your system's power architecture. Ensure SMA connector compatibility with existing cabling and fixtures. Check for any recent revisions in the flatness or ENR specifications prior to final procurement approval.

Selection Notes

Select this module when a wideband noise source covering HF through UHF bands is required. The 0 dBm output level suits applications needing moderate signal injection without excessive attenuation. Consider the +15 VDC requirement for power budgeting. Compare against other Pasternack models if different frequency ranges or output powers are needed for specific test setups.
