PE86X1019

RF Mixers Overview

The Pasternack PE86X1019 is a double balanced mixer designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates within a radio frequency range of 40 MHz to 2.5 GHz, with an intermediate frequency range extending from DC to 1 GHz. The component requires a local oscillator power input of +13 dBm and utilizes SMA connectors for interfacing.

RF Mixers Feature Summary

• Double balanced mixer topology for improved isolation
• SMA connector interface for standard integration
• Field replaceable design capability

RF Mixers Applications

• RF signal conversion systems
• Intermediate frequency generation
• Communication equipment signal processing

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version before procurement to ensure compatibility with system requirements. Confirm that the SMA connector type matches the host board interface. Check for any recent manufacturing updates that may affect pinout or mounting specifications. Ensure the local oscillator drive level meets the specified +13 dBm requirement for optimal performance.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this model when operating frequencies between 40 MHz and 2.5 GHz are required. Consider the double balanced architecture for superior port-to-port isolation compared to single balanced designs. Verify that the IF range up to 1 GHz aligns with downstream processing stages. Ensure the SMA interface is compatible with existing cabling infrastructure.

RF Mixers Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack double balanced mixer series, which provides standardized RF mixing solutions. It shares architectural similarities with other models in the family but differs in frequency coverage and connector types. The PE86X1019 specifically targets lower microwave frequencies compared to higher-frequency variants.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

PE86X1010 offers similar functionality but operates at higher frequencies (24 GHz to 40 GHz). Direct substitution requires verification of frequency band compatibility and connector type differences.
