Description

The M2G is a double balanced mixer, designed for use in military,

commercial, and test equipment applications. The design utilizes

Schottky ring quad diodes and broadband ferrite baluns to attain

excellent performance. This mixer can also be used as a phase

detector and/or bi-phase modulator since the IF port is DC cou-

pled to the diodes. Environmental screening is available to MIL-

STD-883, MIL-STD-202, or MIL-DTL-28837, consult factory.
