MC4120 Open Carrier Double-Balanced Mixer For Microwave Telecommunications Features • • • • Rev. V3 Product Image LO & RF: 2.0 TO 10.0 GHz IF: DC TO 2.0 GHz LO DRIVE: +20 dBm (NOMINAL) MICROSTRIP INTERFACE Description The MC4120 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. Environmental screening available to MIL-STD-883, MIL-STD-202, or MIL-DTL-28837, consult factory.
