Device Overview

General Description

M1 double balanced mixers are hybrid assemblies that have been hand-tuned to feature low conversion loss and high isolations and a DC IF response. M1 mixers have generally been replaced with MM1 mixers with superior performance, repeatability, and availability. M1 mixers are still used in legacy systems and are suitable for laboratory use.
