RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify specific datasheet revisions and RoHS compliance details directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the required +13 dBm LO drive level matches your system design capabilities. Ensure SMA connector compatibility with existing PCB or cable infrastructure. Check for any recent supply chain updates or alternative part recommendations from Pasternack engineering support.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this model when a double balanced topology is required for frequencies between 10 MHz and 1.2 GHz. It is suitable for designs needing DC-capable IF outputs. Consider the 26 dB RF to LO isolation specification for interference-sensitive environments. Verify that the SMA interface aligns with system interconnect requirements and that the +13 dBm LO power requirement can be met by the available driver stage.

RF Mixers Part Context

The PE86X1017 belongs to Pasternack's Double Balanced Mixers series, categorized under Signal Conditioning components. It serves as a specialized RF mixer solution for microwave and millimeter wave interconnect applications. The product line focuses on providing reliable frequency conversion components for laboratory and industrial use cases where precise signal mixing is critical.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

Consult Pasternack official documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Cross-reference specifications such as frequency range, IF bandwidth, and LO power requirements when evaluating alternatives. Ensure mechanical compatibility and connector type match if direct replacement is necessary.
