Description
Transformers convert the LO and RF paths to balanced
lines connecting to a low barrier, Schottky diode ring quad.
These transformers help provide excellent isolation between
ports. Conversion Loss is low. The direct connection of
the IF port to the diode quad allows these mixers to be used
as phase detectors and bi-phase modulators.
