M4G / SM4G Double-Balanced Mixer Rev. V3 Features • • • • • Product Image LO 800 TO 3500 MHz RF 800 TO 2400 MHz IF DC TO 1500 MHz LO DRIVE: +7 dBm (NOMINAL) HIGH ISOLATION: 30 dB (TYP.) Description The M4G 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 is available to MILSTD-883, MIL-STD-202, or MIL-DTL-28837, consult factory.

M4G / SM4G Double-Balanced Mixer Rev. V3 Typical Performance Curves Conversion Loss vs. Drive Level: The minimum recommended drive level is +5 dBm. The maximum recommended drive level is +13 dBm. Conversion Loss vs. Input Frequency: Conversion loss of the mixer when used in an SSB system. The frequency ordinate refers to the R-port (fR) with fI at 120 MHz and fL less than fR. Data plotted with an fL level of +7 dBm. Isolation vs. Frequency: Level of the fL signal fed through to the R and I-ports with respect to the level of the fL signal at the L-port. Conversion Loss vs. fI Frequency: Conversion loss of the mixer when used in an SSB system. The frequency ordinate refers to the I-port (fI) with fR at 1.2 GHz and fL swept from 1.2 to 3.7 GHz. 2 ADVANCED: Data Sheets contain information regarding a product M/A-COM Technology Solutions • North America Tel: 800.366.2266 • Europe Tel: +353.21.244.6400 is considering for development.
