Description
The MC4520 is a double balanced mixer, designed for military,
commercial and test equipment applications. The design utilizes
Schottky ring quad diodes and broadband soft dielectric balans 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. Environmental screening is available to
MIL-STD-883, MIL-STD-202 or MIL-M-28837, consult factory.
