Spacek Labs model M80-5X2Bis an E-Band mixer covering the two radio bands of 71 to 76 GHz and 81 to 86 GHz. The mixer includes an integrated LO doubler so that the customer need only supply a 39 GHz source with +16 dBm of power.

Spacek Labs can also supply a phase-locked source with the assembly. The conversion loss over the band is 6 dB typical and 10 dB maximum, with an IF frequency range of 2 to 8 GHz. The input P1dB is –6 dBm typical, and the bias is +12 V DC at 10 mA.

Overall dimensions are 1.67" × 1.68" × 1.07". In addition, with extensive in-house design and manufacturing capabilities, Spacek Labs can equip the mixer with LO sources, amplifiers and filter technologies to meet any high performance project needs. Spacek Labs, an ISO 9001:2008 certified company, has been delivering standard and custom millimeter-wave components and sub-assemblies for over 32 years.
