• 2.92mm connector interface
• Wideband RF and LO coverage

RF Mixers Applications

• Radar systems
• VSAT communications
• Signal conditioning circuits

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE86X1030 to confirm mechanical dimensions and electrical tolerances. Ensure that the required +13 dBm LO drive level is available in the target system design. Confirm compatibility with 2.92mm mating connectors to maintain signal integrity at frequencies up to 30 GHz.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband mixer covering 16 GHz to 30 GHz is required. The 2.92mm interface suggests suitability for high-frequency applications where low VSWR is critical. Consider the +13 dBm LO power requirement when designing the driver stage. Verify IF bandwidth needs against the DC to 8 GHz specification.

RF Mixers Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's RF mixer product line, specifically designed for microwave and millimeter-wave interconnect solutions. It serves as a signal conditioning component for converting high-frequency signals to lower intermediate frequencies. The double balanced topology helps suppress unwanted harmonics and improve isolation between ports.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are identified in the provided documentation. Cross-referencing with other manufacturers requires matching the 16-30 GHz frequency range, 2.92mm interface, and +13 dBm LO power specifications.
