M86 / M86C Double-Balanced Mixer Rev. V2 Features Product Image LO 3.5 TO 18 GHz RF 6 TO 18 GHz IF DC TO 3000 MHz LO DRIVE +7 dBm (nominal) WIDE BANDWIDTH DC COUPLED I-PORT Description The M86 is a double balanced mixer, designed for use in military, commercial and test equipment applications. The design utilizes Schottky ring quad diodes and broadband soft dielectric and 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. The use of high temperature solder and welded assembly processes used internally makes it ideal for use in manual, semi-automated assembly.
