1 TO 30 GHz DOUBLE-BALANCED MIXER
MODEL: DBO130LA2
FEATURES
• RF/LO coverage ......... 1 to 30 GHz
• IF operation ............... DC to 500 MHz
• Conversion loss .......... 8.5 dB typical
• Ultra-broadband frequency coverage
• Operational as fundamental and third
order harmonic mixer
MITEQ’s double-balanced DBO130LA2 provides the industry’s broadest frequency span in a single device. The
extended performance baluns and efficiently matched diodes provide five octaves of instantaneous frequency
coverage. This unit is ideal for instrumentation requirements of converting broad frequency ranges to a com-
mon IF frequency.
