PSPL5509 Datasheet
The PSPL5509 DC Block is an ultra-broadband inner conductor DC block with a flat frequency response over many decades up to 50 GHz. It is available in a choice of 2.92 mm or 2.4 mm connectors.
Key performance specifications
- 7 kHz to 50 GHz Bandwidth
- 5 ps Rise time
- 1 dB Insertion Loss to 40 GHz
Typical performance
The following figure shows the Insertion Loss from 40 MHz to 50 GHz (2.4 mm connectors).
The following figure shows the Group Delay from 40 MHz to 50 GHz (2.4 mm connectors).
The following figure shows the Return Loss from 40 MHz to 50 GHz (2.4 mm connectors).
The following figure shows the step response to a 15 ps rise time input at 10 ps/div.
