M6E-50 Double-Balanced Mixer Rev. V3 Features * * * * * LO 5 TO 500 MHz RF 5 TO 500 MHz IF DC TO 500 MHz LO DRIVE +7 dBm (nominal) HIGH ISOLATION 40 dB (TYP.) Description The M6E-50 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 coupled to the diodes. Environmental screening available to MIL-STD-883, MIL-STD-202, or MIL-DTL-28837, consult factory.
