PEWGN1013

Overview

The PEWGN1013 is a mechanically tuned Gunn diode oscillator manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within the WR-90 waveguide frequency range, with a center frequency of 9.375 GHz and a tuning range of +/- 0.25 GHz. The device delivers an output power of +18.5 dBm (approximately 0.07 W) and requires a 10V supply voltage.

Feature Summary

• Mechanically tuned operation for precise frequency adjustment
• Gunn diode technology for stable signal generation
• Integrated WR-90 waveguide interface

Applications

• Microwave test and measurement equipment
• Signal source generation in radar systems
• Research and development applications requiring tunable microwave signals

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific mechanical tuning mechanism requirements against your system design before procurement. Confirm that the WR-90 waveguide interface aligns with your existing infrastructure. Ensure the 10V DC supply capability is available in your setup. Review the datasheet for thermal management needs associated with the specified output power levels.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a mechanically tunable Gunn diode oscillator is required within the X-band spectrum. The WR-90 interface dictates compatibility with standard rectangular waveguide components. Consider the +/- 0.25 GHz tuning range relative to your frequency stability needs. Evaluate the +18.5 dBm output power against your system's input sensitivity requirements.

Part Context

This oscillator belongs to Pasternack's RF wireless miscellaneous category, specifically designed as a general-purpose microwave source. It utilizes Gunn diode technology housed within a WR-90 waveguide structure. The product is distinct from solid-state oscillators due to its mechanical tuning capability and specific frequency band operation.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Mechanical tuning interfaces may require custom adapters if replacing with electronic tuning variants.
