Overview
The PE85NS4000 is a surface mount noise source module manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within a frequency range of 200 kHz to 500 MHz and requires a +12 VDC supply voltage. The device provides an excess noise ratio (ENR) output of 31 dB. Designed for general-purpose RF applications, it utilizes a pin-packaged SMT form factor. This component serves as a stable reference signal generator for testing and calibration purposes in radio frequency systems.
Feature Summary
- Provides a consistent excess noise ratio for system calibration
- Surface mount packaging facilitates automated assembly
- Operates on a standard 12V DC power supply
Applications
- RF receiver sensitivity testing
- Noise figure measurement systems
- Calibration of spectrum analyzers
Procurement Notes
Verify the specific datasheet version from Pasternack to confirm mechanical dimensions and electrical tolerances. Ensure the design supports the required 12V supply and thermal management for the SMT package. Confirm that the 200kHz to 500MHz frequency range aligns with the target application requirements before finalizing procurement.
Selection Notes
Select this module when a calibrated noise source is needed for frequencies up to 500 MHz. The 31 dB ENR value determines the measurable noise floor limits. Consider the surface mount footprint during PCB layout. Verify compatibility with existing test equipment interfaces and control logic for the 12V drive requirement.
Part Context
This component belongs to Pasternack's RF modules category, specifically designed as a noise source. It is distinct from their passive components like attenuators or connectors. The product is listed as active, indicating ongoing manufacturing support. It addresses the need for precise noise references in microwave and RF engineering workflows.
Replacement Considerations
No public substitute part numbers are documented for this specific model. Users must verify if alternative noise sources meet the exact 31 dB ENR and 500 MHz upper frequency limit specifications.
