Device Overview
General Description
M4 diplexed IF mixers are hybrid assemblies that combine a low frequency IF (to DC) with a multi-decade bandwidth RF and LO. M4 mixers are commonly used for single tone analyzers (such as antenna test systems) with ultra-broad frequency ranges.
Features
- LO/RF 1 to 26.5 GHz
- IF DC to 700 MHz
- 8 dB Typical Conversion Loss
- 30 dB Typical LO to RF Isolation
- Ultra-Broadband RF and LO
