Device Overview
General Description
M2 triple balanced mixers are hybrid assemblies that have been hand-tuned to feature low conversion loss and high isolations. M2 mixers offer ultrabroadband overlapping frequency coverage on all 3 ports. Many M2 mixers have replaced with MM2 mixers with superior performance, repeatability, and availability. M2 mixers suitable for systems where an MM2 mixer is not available.
Features
- RF 1.0 to 20.0 GHz
- LO .5 to 20.0 GHz
- IF .001 to 6.0 GHz
- 7.5 dB Typical Conversion Loss
- 24 dB Typical LO to RF Isolation
- Ultra-Broadband RF, LO, and IF
