PE8728

Overview

The PE8728 is a five-section tunable bandpass filter manufactured by Pasternack. It features N female connectors and is designed for signal conditioning applications. The component operates within the RF spectrum, providing adjustable frequency selection capabilities through its tunable architecture. This filter integrates multiple resonant sections to achieve steep skirt selectivity and high out-of-band rejection, ensuring precise signal filtering in complex RF environments.

Feature Summary

• Five-section tunable bandpass architecture for precise frequency adjustment
• N female connector interface for robust RF interconnection
• Integrated signal conditioning with high selectivity

Applications

• RF test and measurement equipment requiring variable frequency filtering
• Communication systems needing tunable interference suppression
• Signal processing chains requiring adjustable bandpass characteristics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific tuning range and center frequency specifications against the official Pasternack datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the N female connector type matches the system interface requirements. Ensure the tunable mechanism aligns with the application's control voltage or mechanical adjustment needs. Cross-reference the part number PE8728 with authorized distributors to confirm current availability and authenticity.

Selection Notes

Select the PE8728 when a multi-section tunable bandpass response is required rather than a fixed-frequency filter. Consider the physical size and weight constraints associated with five-section designs. Evaluate the tuning speed and stability requirements of the application against the filter's mechanical or electronic tuning capabilities. Ensure compatibility with the operating environment regarding temperature and humidity.

Part Context

The PE8728 belongs to Pasternack's RF coaxial filters series, specifically focusing on tunable bandpass solutions. It complements other fixed-frequency filters like the PE8725 lowpass filter by offering dynamic frequency selection. This component is part of the broader signal conditioning portfolio, addressing scenarios where frequency agility is critical for system performance.
