Triple Balanced

Triple Balanced Mixer 
A triple balanced mixer uses two well matched quad-diode rings (fig. B). Because of this, they offer wider LO/RF bandwidths than DBM designs. But more importantly, the TBM offers a higher dynamic range and lower distortion. Pulsar Microwave's line of High Intercept Point (IP³) mixers, the recommended choice for use in wireless communications systems, are triple balanced mixers.
