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.
