Description
The M9BC 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 MIL-STD-883,
MIL-STD-202, or MIL-DTL-28837, consult factory.
