Description
The M53 is a triple balanced mixer, designed for use in military,
commercial and test equipment applications. The design utilizes
Schottky ring quad diodes and broadband soft dielectric baluns to
attain excellent performance. The use of high temperature solder and
welded assembly processes used internally makes it ideal for use in
manual, semi-automated assembly.
