PE88X2002

RF Amplifiers Overview

The PE88X2002 is a 2x frequency multiplier module designed for RF applications, manufactured by Pasternack. It operates with an input frequency range of 16 GHz to 23 GHz and produces an output frequency range of 32 GHz to 46 GHz. The device delivers a typical output power of +8 dBm and requires a 5V supply voltage. It features field-replaceable 2.92mm connectors and utilizes a 50 Ohm impedance system. The unit is designed for chassis mounting and is classified under ECCN EAR99.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Provides precise 2x frequency multiplication for high-frequency signal generation
• Utilizes field-replaceable 2.92mm coaxial connectors for reliable interconnection
• Engineered for chassis mounting in professional RF test and measurement systems

RF Amplifiers Applications

• RF signal generation and testing equipment
• Microwave communication systems requiring frequency up-conversion
• Test and measurement instrumentation for frequencies above 30 GHz

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as this component is produced by Pasternack, not Analog Devices Inc., despite potential listing discrepancies. Confirm the specific connector type (2.92mm) and mounting style (chassis mount) match your system requirements. Ensure the input frequency range aligns with your source signal generator capabilities before procurement.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this module when a compact, high-performance frequency doubler is required for the 16-23 GHz input band. Consider the +8 dBm output power level against your downstream receiver sensitivity. Evaluate the need for field-replaceable connectors versus fixed assemblies based on maintenance protocols. Verify compatibility with 5V power supplies and chassis integration constraints.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This component belongs to the PE88 series of RF frequency multipliers offered by Pasternack. These modules are engineered to extend the operational frequency range of standard signal generators. They serve as critical components in microwave engineering, allowing lower-frequency sources to drive higher-frequency loads efficiently within coaxial transmission environments.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

Check for other models in the PE88 series or equivalent 2x multipliers from Pasternack that may offer different input/output ranges. Ensure any substitute maintains the 2.92mm connector interface and chassis mounting form factor to preserve mechanical compatibility.
