I/Q mixers

Millitech I/Q mixers are ideal for Radar Receiver applications and Single-Sideband Mixers. The LO port is spilt by a 90-degree hybrid to the two mixers. Some models allow the option for a LO input buffer so that only 0 dBm of LO power is required for the mixer to operate. An integrated RF low noise amplifier (LNA) is also optional. Models are available in WR-28, WR-10, 2.92, 2.4, and 1.85 mm connectors.
