PE13U1002

RF Mixers Overview

The PE13U1002 is a waveguide mixer up converter manufactured by Pasternack. It operates in the WR-15 frequency range, covering 50 GHz to 75 GHz for the RF port and DC to 18 GHz for the intermediate frequency (IF) port. The device utilizes a chassis mounting type and contains one mixer element. This component is designed for high-frequency signal conversion applications requiring precise waveguide interface integration.

RF Mixers Feature Summary

• Provides up-conversion functionality using a single mixer element within a waveguide structure.
• Supports operation across a wide radio frequency band from 50 GHz to 75 GHz.
• Features an intermediate frequency input range extending from DC to 18 GHz.

RF Mixers Applications

• Microwave communication systems
• Radio frequency test and measurement equipment
• Satellite ground station transceivers

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE13U1002 to confirm mechanical dimensions and thermal requirements. Ensure that the host system provides adequate chassis mounting space and appropriate waveguide flange interfaces compatible with WR-15 standards before procurement.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated waveguide-based up-converter is required for frequencies above 50 GHz. Consider the WR-15 form factor and chassis mount style against available board space. Evaluate the IF bandwidth of 18 GHz to ensure it meets the baseband or intermediate frequency processing capabilities of the surrounding circuitry.

RF Mixers Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's RF and Wireless product line, specifically focusing on microwave components. It complements their broader portfolio of coaxial cables, connectors, and attenuators by offering specialized active conversion solutions for millimeter-wave applications where standard coaxial interconnects are insufficient.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with existing WR-15 waveguide interfaces if considering alternative manufacturers for similar frequency ranges.
