This mixer requires no external component or matching circuitry. Point to point radios Point to multipoint radios and very small aperture terminal The HMC560A provides high local oscillator (LO) to RF and (VSAT) radios LO to intermediate frequency (IF) suppression, 40 dB and Test equipment and sensors 44 dB, respectively, due to optimized balun structures. The Military end use mixer operates with LO amplitudes from 9 dBm to 15 dBm. Rev. 0 Document Feedback Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.
