M2A / M2AC Double-Balanced Mixer Rev. V3 Features Product Image LO 10 to 1500 MHz RF 10 to 1500 MHz IF DC to 800 MHz LO Drive +7 dBm (nominal) High Isolation 35 dB (typ) Description The M2A is a double balanced mixer, designed for use in military, commercial, and test equipment ap- plications. The design utilizes Schottky ring quad diodes and broadband ferrite baluns to attain excel- lent performance. This mixer can also be used as a phase detector and/or bi-phase modulator since the IF port is DC coupled to the diodes. Environmental screening is available to MIL-STD-883, MIL-STD- 202, or MIL-DTL-28837, consult factory.
