Description

M93 is a triple balanced mixer, designed for use in military, com-

mercial and test equipment applications.

The design utilizes

Schottky ring quad diodes and broadband soft dielectric baluns to

attain excellent performance. The use of high temperature solder

assembly processes used internally makes it ideal for use in

manual, semi-automated assembly.

Environmental screening

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

consult factory.
