Our T3 mixers is the most advanced mixer circuit available in the world. In addition to broadband overlapping LO, RF, and IF bands, it has the potential for extremely high linearity. T3 mixers are built in both hybrid and MMIC form. The hybrid construction allows for ultra-broadband coverage on all three ports (RF,LO, and IF), whereas the MMIC MT3 series offers the scalability and repeatability of a MMIC with the linear performance of the T3. Click here for our full lineup of bare die, surface mount, and connectorized T3 mixers up to 40 GHz.
The T3 mixer is a true-commutating mixer. This means it will provide increasing two-tone intermodulation suppression, input 1-dB compression, and spurious suppression (for most spurs) as the rise time of the LO signal is increased by either increasing sine wave LO drive or, for optimal results, using a square wave LO. The ADM series amplifiers were designed to provide strong odd (3rd and 5th) harmonics and are an ideal choice as a square wave LO generator for the T3 mixers.
The Two-Tone-Terminator (T3) mixer is the most sophisticated mixer circuit on the market today and offers unparalleled performance when compared to all other mixer technologies. To learn the theory behind its operation and how this directly translates to improved P1dB, IP3 and spurious performance, download our T3 Primer.

Marki continues to lead the industry in quadrature coupler technology with
two new product releases and a new IQ/SSB/IR Mixer Basics Application Note.
Marki is expanding our line of MMIC quadrature hybrids (the MQH series) and quadrature splitters (the MQS series) with six new products in the S, C, X, and Ku bands. Each model is available as a bare die or in a connectorized module, and all offer excellent phase and amplitude balance over unprecedented bandwidths in a small form factor.
MQH products are true quadrature hybrids in the sense that all four ports are identical, making them suitable for all quad hybrid applications including reflectionless filters, reflective phase shifters, reflective variable attenuators, balanced amplifiers, Butler matrices, and of course IQ, image reject, and single sideband mixers (on either the LO or IF port).
|
|
|
MQS products are quadture splitter/combiners. They are best used in a single configuration (with port 1 as the input) and offer broader bandwidths with the same excellent phase balance. However, they are not as good in reflective applications. They are still suitable for use in IQ/IR/SSB mixers and other applications where a single quadrature split or combination is required.
