26 GHz Bias Tee

PSPL5541A Datasheet

The Model PSPL5541A is a very broadband, coaxial bias insertion tee and DC blocking capacitor. It passes very fast rise pulses with a minimum of waveform distortion. Its rise time is only 8 ps. The frequency response is flat over many decades, and the -3 dB bandwidth extends from 80 kHz to beyond 26 GHz.
