PE86GM2008

Overview

The PE86GM2008 is a bi-phase modulator manufactured by Pasternack, designed for radar signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of 26.5 GHz to 40 GHz and provides a 30-degree phase shift capability. The device features TTL control inputs and supports a switching speed of 100 nanoseconds. It utilizes 2.92mm connectors for RF interfacing and is constructed as a chassis-mount module. This component facilitates precise phase modulation in high-frequency microwave systems.

Feature Summary

• Bi-phase modulation functionality with 0/180 degree switching capability
• Operates across the 26.5 GHz to 40 GHz frequency spectrum
• Utilizes TTL control interface for digital signal management
• Engineered for radar signal conditioning applications

Applications

• Radar system signal processing
• Microwave communication links
• Test and measurement instrumentation
• Defense electronic warfare systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type and mounting configuration against your system requirements before procurement. Confirm that the TTL control voltage levels match your existing logic standards. Ensure the chassis mount dimensions align with your enclosure specifications. Cross-reference the datasheet for thermal management needs associated with continuous operation at high frequencies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated bi-phase modulator is required for frequencies above 26.5 GHz. Consider the 100nsec switching speed for timing-sensitive applications. Evaluate the 2.92mm interface compatibility with your existing RF infrastructure. Assess the chassis mount form factor against available space constraints in your assembly design.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's signal conditioning portfolio, specifically targeting high-frequency modulation needs. Unlike passive cable assemblies, this active module performs dynamic phase shifting. It complements other RF components by providing controlled signal alteration rather than simple transmission or connection functions within complex microwave circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify functional equivalence regarding frequency range, control logic, and physical footprint if sourcing alternatives from other manufacturers.
