PE86X1029

RF Mixers Overview

The PE86X1029 is a double balanced mixer manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within a frequency range of 7 GHz to 34 GHz. The intermediate frequency (IF) range extends from DC to 8 GHz. The device requires a local oscillator (LO) power input of +13 dBm for proper operation. It utilizes 2.92mm connectors for interfacing. This component is designed for signal conditioning applications in high-frequency systems.

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version before procurement, as manufacturer specifications may be updated. Confirm that the required LO drive level of +13 dBm matches your system's output capabilities. Ensure that the 2.92mm connector type is compatible with your existing cabling infrastructure. Check for any recent revisions to the electrical performance parameters listed in the official documentation.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this model when a wideband mixer covering 7 GHz to 34 GHz is required. Consider the DC to 8 GHz IF range for downconversion needs. Verify compatibility with standard +13 dBm LO sources. Compare against similar models like PE86X1009 if different IF ranges or frequency limits are needed. Ensure the 2.92mm interface fits the design constraints.

RF Mixers Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack double balanced mixer series. It serves as a signal conditioning element in RF circuits. The product line focuses on high-frequency mixing solutions. Similar parts in the series offer varying frequency ranges and IF outputs. The PE86X1029 specifically targets applications requiring broad RF bandwidth.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

The PE86X1009 is a related model offering a 7 GHz to 43 GHz range with an IF up to 10 GHz. Evaluate if the extended frequency or IF range of the alternative is necessary. Both use 2.92mm connectors and similar LO power requirements. Verify pinout and mechanical dimensions match before substitution.
