Description

Transformers convert the LO and RF paths to

balanced lines connecting to a medium 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.
