PE88X2018

Overview

The Pasternack PE88X2018 is an active signal conditioning component functioning as a triple frequency multiplier. It accepts input signals and generates an output frequency range of 1800 MHz to 2250 MHz. The device provides a conversion gain of 4 dB. It utilizes SMA connectors for interfacing within RF systems.

Feature Summary

• Active frequency multiplication with a 3x ratio
• SMA connector interface for signal transmission

Applications

• RF signal generation circuits
• Frequency synthesis systems
• Signal conditioning modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE88X2018 to confirm electrical tolerances and pinout configurations. Ensure compatibility with existing SMA interconnects in the design. Confirm availability status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors, as supply conditions may vary.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 3x multiplication factor is required within the 1800-2250 MHz output band. Consider the 4 dB conversion gain relative to system noise requirements. Verify that the SMA interface matches the board layout and mating hardware constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Pasternack PE88X series of active signal conditioning components. These devices are designed to modify signal frequencies using active circuitry rather than passive mixing techniques, offering defined gain characteristics.
