Description
The M76 is a double balanced mixer, designed for use in military,
commercial and test equipment applications. The design utilizes
Schottky ring quad diodes and broadband soft dielectric and
ferrite baluns to attain excellent performance. This mixer can also
be used as a phase detector and/or bi-phase modulator since the
IF port is DC coupled to the diodes. The use of high temperature
solder and welded assembly processes used internally makes it
ideal for use in manual, semi-automated assembly. Environmental
screening available to MIL-STD-883, MIL-STD-202, or
MIL-DTL-28837, consult factory.
