PE87FL1003

Overview

The PE87FL1003 is an eight-section bandpass filter manufactured by Pasternack, designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of 17.2 GHz to 21.2 GHz, providing a 4 GHz passband width. The component utilizes SMA female connectors for interface connectivity and employs a combline filter design architecture. This configuration ensures effective RF signal filtering in high-frequency environments.

Feature Summary

• Eight-section combline filter design for enhanced selectivity
• SMA female connector interfaces for standard RF integration
• Operates within the 17.2 GHz to 21.2 GHz frequency range

Applications

• Microwave communication systems requiring precise bandpass filtering
• Test and measurement equipment operating in the K-band spectrum
• Satellite ground station signal conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model number against official Pasternack documentation to ensure compatibility with system requirements. Confirm connector type and frequency specifications match the intended application. Check for any recent datasheet updates regarding mechanical dimensions or material composition before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an eight-section bandpass response is required for frequencies between 17.2 GHz and 21.2 GHz. Ensure the system supports SMA female connectors and can accommodate the physical size and weight of the unit. Consider thermal management needs if operating at high power levels within the specified passband.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's RF coaxial filters series, specifically designed for signal conditioning. It shares architectural similarities with other models in the PE87FL series but differs in section count and frequency range. The product is categorized under signal conditioning components for microwave applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Pasternack bandpass filters with similar section counts and frequency ranges, such as the PE87FL1007. Verify that alternative parts maintain compatible connector types and electrical performance metrics before implementation.
