PE86X1015

RF Mixers Overview

The Pasternack PE86X1015 is a double balanced mixer designed for RF and wireless applications. It operates within a frequency range of 10 MHz to 1 GHz, providing an intermediate frequency (IF) output from DC to 800 MHz. The component requires a local oscillator (LO) power input of +4 dBm for proper function. It utilizes SMA connectors for signal interfacing. This device serves as a signal conditioning element in microwave and millimeter wave interconnect solutions.

RF Mixers Feature Summary

• Double balanced mixer architecture
• SMA connector interface
• DC to 800 MHz IF range

RF Mixers Applications

• RF test and measurement systems
• Microwave interconnect solutions
• Millimeter wave applications

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet PDF provided by the manufacturer to confirm current electrical tolerances and mechanical dimensions. Ensure that the required LO drive level of +4 dBm is available in the system design. Confirm compatibility with SMA connector types before integration into existing RF assemblies.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this model when a mixer covering 10 MHz to 1 GHz is required. The +4 dBm LO power specification distinguishes it from higher-power variants. Verify that the 800 MHz IF bandwidth meets the application's signal processing needs. Ensure SMA interfaces align with the system's connector standards.
