F-Band Externally Biased Balanced Mixer

SFB-08-E2 is an F-Band, externally biased balanced mixer. The mixer supports the full waveguide band operation for both LO and RF frequencies from 90 to 140 GHz with an extremely broad IF output from DC to 40 GHz. The mixer offers a typical conversion loss of 13 dB. The externally biased mixer is used when high LO power is not available. Externally biased mixer works with low local oscillator (LO) power of +3 to +5 dBm when external bias of +5 VDC is applied. As a trade-off, LO to RF isolation is lower compared to non-biased mixers.

To prevent damage due to accidental over-bias or reverse bias, voltage regulator M/N SOR-05-SM-R1 is highly recommended.
