MHP harmonic mixer

The series MHP harmonic mixer is ideally suited for downconverting millimeter-wave frequencies to intermediate frequencies below 2 GHz by using a local oscillator in the microwave frequency range of 2 to 18 GHz. The MHP is offered in seven waveguide bands spanning 18 to 110 GHz, with full RF waveguide band coverage. The harmonic mixer features high sensitivity and low loss, and is available with or without a frequency diplexer
