PE8716

Overview

The PE8716 is a five-section high-pass filter manufactured by Pasternack, designed for signal conditioning applications. It features SMA female connectors and operates within a frequency range of 100 MHz to 750 MHz. The device maintains a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms and provides a passband starting at 650 MHz. Key electrical specifications include a maximum insertion loss of 1 dB and an input maximum VSWR of 2:1. The unit supports a maximum power handling capacity of 5 Watts.

Feature Summary

• Five-section high-pass filter design for effective signal filtering
• SMA female connector interface for standard RF integration
• Operates from 100 MHz to 750 MHz with a 650 MHz passband

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in communication systems
• High-frequency circuit protection and filtering
