RF Mixer

0.5 to 9 GHz Termination Insensitive Mixer

RF Mixer from MACOM

The MDC-164 is a termination insensitive mixer i.e it can apply high reverse voltage to diodes during their “off” phase, in the LO cycle. This allows for higher power level performance with minimum distortion. In addition the TIM has internal loads that provide a good match and also absorb mixer generated LO frequency terms. Combined, these features give the mixer its insensitivity to external mismatches, plus superior VSWR.

RF Mixer

0.5 to 2 GHz Double Balanced Mixer for PCN and Communication Applications

RF Mixer from Miteq

The DM0052LA2 is a mixer that has been constructed using a new microwave double tuned RF/LO Balun that yields an IF response from DC to 500 MHz. It has a RF/LO Frequency from 0.5 to 2 GHz with an LO power range from 7 to 13 dBm. This mixer produces an unusually high port to port isolation and rejects out of band signals with a filter like selectivity. It can be used as an up-converter or down-converter in most PCN and communication applications.

RF Mixer

6 to 10 GHz I/Q mixer - Hybrid Image-reject mixer and single-sideband up-converter

RF Mixer from Custom MMIC

The CMD182C4 is a compact I/Q mixer in a leadless surface mount package that can be used as either an image reject mixer or a single sideband upconverter. It utilizes two double balanced mixer cells and a 90 degree hybrid. An external IF hybrid is needed to complete the image rejection. The CMD182C4 is a much smaller alternative to higher cost hybrid image reject mixers and single sideband upconverter assemblies.
