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.
