SHM Mixers

ACST’s subharmonic mixers are specially developed to reduce the noise figure and local oscillator power requirements. They can be used for up or down convert signals. The IF frequency features a broad band to provide flexibility for any particular application. The lower frequency of the local oscillator (LO) compared to the radio frequency (RF) signal allows to define even more than 100 dB isolation between them and simplify the complexity of the THz LO source. The low local oscillator power requirement makes ACST’s mixers suitable for array receiver systems.
