G-Band Externally Biased Balanced Mixer

SFB-05-EB is a G-Band, externally Biased balanced mixer. The mixer supports the operation for LO from 140 to 220 GHz and RF frequencies from 140 to 220 GHz with an extremely broad IF output from DC to 40GHz. 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 0 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. This model features a built-in voltage regulator to eliminate the risk of damage due to overbias and reduce ESD discharge.
