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
- LO/RF .01 to 26.5 GHz
- IF .001 to 6.0 GHz
- 8.0 dB Typical Conversion Loss
- Ultra-Broadband RF, LO, and IF
