Description

The M4TH is a termination insensitive mixer, designed for use in military,

commercial and test equipment applications.

The design utilizes

Schottky bridge quad diodes, broadband ferrite baluns and internal loads

to provide excellent performance without degradation due to external

VSWR mismatches.

The use of high temperature solder and welded

assembly

processes

used

internally

makes

it

ideal

for

use

in

semi-automated and automated assembly.

Environmental screening

available to MIL-STD-883, MIL-STD-202, or MIL-DTL-28837, consult

factory.
