Synergy Microwave Corp.
DC to 1 GHz Wideband Double Balanced Mixer
The CLK-7B5S is a wideband double balanced mixer. The RF/LO operating BW is 5 to 2000 MHz with a given operating LO of +7 dBm nominal. The DC coupled IF port operates from DC to 1000 MHz. The low conversion loss is 7 to 9 dB typical over the full band. High inter-port isolation ranges from 32 to 65 dB typical, s for superior overall performance. In addition to the above performance, the IP3 is +13 dBm and the 1 dB compression is +7 dBm typical. This model is well balanced for use in many up-/down-conversion applications. The mixer is packaged in a small connectorized housing terminated in SMA female connectors. The operating temperature is −55°C to +85°C.
