D-Band Externally Biased Balanced Mixer

SFB-06-E2 is a D-Band, externally biased balanced mixer. The mixer supports the full waveguide band operation for both LO and RF frequencies from 110 to 170 GHz with an extremely broad IF output from DC to 40 GHz. The mixer offers a typical conversion loss of 13 dB and a high RF to LO port isolation. The main advantage of using an externally biased mixer is that it only requires a local oscillator (LO) power of 0 to +5 dBm when a bias of +5 VDC is applied. This eliminates the need for an expensive local oscillator, making system integrations more affordable.
