PE88D4002

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The PE88D4002 is a divide-by-4 prescaler module manufactured by Pasternack. It functions as a frequency divider with an input frequency range of 100 MHz to 20 GHz and an output frequency range of 25 MHz to 5 GHz. The component utilizes SMA connectors for interface connections.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Divides input signal frequency by four
• Operates within high-frequency microwave ranges

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• Frequency synthesis systems
• Microwave measurement equipment
• Signal processing architectures requiring frequency division

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific SMA connector gender and mating requirements against system interface specifications. Confirm that the 20 GHz maximum input frequency aligns with the operational limits of the source signal generator or amplifier in the design.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this module when a fixed divide-by-4 ratio is required for frequencies up to 20 GHz. Ensure the downstream circuitry can accommodate the resulting 25 MHz to 5 GHz output spectrum without additional filtering or amplification needs.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's RF prescaler and frequency divider product line. It serves as a passive or active frequency conversion element, distinct from variable dividers or multipliers, providing a stable integer division ratio for microwave applications.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

No public substitute part numbers are confirmed in available documentation. Direct replacement requires matching the divide-by-4 function, SMA interfaces, and the 100 MHz–20 GHz input range.
