Advanced Microwave Mixers offer an ultra wideband matching structure with quad matched monolithic Schottky barrier diode, resulting in a broad band mixer with low conversion loss and low spurious response. The planar construction allows optimum phase and amplitude matching and tracking over a wide frequency range.

 

The Double Balanced Mixer is a diode bridge mixer that uses two single-ended to differential transformers, or baluns, to create the multiplication of two input frequencies as either an upconverter or downconverter

 

Advanced Microwave mixers can also be used for biphase and pulse modulation where the carrier signal is fed into LO and the modulated signal will appear at the RF port when a bipolar signal is fed into the IF port. The phase of the output signal will shift to 180 degrees when a reversal of polarity occurs. The current into the IF port is limited to 25 milliamps.

 

Image Reject Mixers (IRM) offer a robust frequency mixing solution for applications that require high image rejection or sideband suppression. These mixers can be used as an upconverter or downcoverter. IRM mixers use two double-balanced mixers with a 90° hybrid. The inherent architecture of IRM mixers eliminates the resulting product due to image frequency during downconversion and allows the selection of desired sideband during upconversion.

 

In-Phase Quadrature (I/Q) Mixers historically are used in direct digital communication, where there are many signals combined at the base-band in a digital format including quadra phase shift keying modulation (QPSK).
