2 TO 18 GHz BIASABLE IMAGE REJECTION MIXERS
MODELS: IRB0218LC1A, IRB0218LC1B AND IRB0218LC1C
FEATURES
• RF/LO coverage ................ 2 to 18 GHz
• IF operation ....................... 20 to 200 MHz
• LO power range ................ -10 to +13 GHz
• Conversion loss................ 10 dB typical
• Image rejection ................. 20 dB typical
Image rejection mixers are useful for wideband test equipment or in ultra-broadband receivers requiring rejection
of an unwanted sideband of signal or noise following a low-noise front-end amplifier. These mixers are also use-
ful as linear single-sideband upconverters by operating in the reverse mode. The MITEQ IRB Series design uti-
lizes two mixers with biasable bridge diode quads, thus allowing operation at very low LO powers. The bias circuit
also automatically compensates for any power variations in the swept LO source.
