by Jacob Hammond The LO to RF isolation of a mixer is a critical performance specification in most broadband applications. LO feedthrough can not only contaminate a system, but the noise fed from [...]

1. Top 7 Ways to Create a Quadrature (90˚) Phase Shift We’ve talked a lot about IQ mixers in the last few posts, about their theoretical underpinnings and applications as a phase detector and [...]

Several times per month we are asked about the feasibility of using Marki Microwave products at cryogenic temperatures for various research applications. Many customers have purchased various [...]

This tech note serves to explain how to interpret the spurious data we provide on our datasheets, how we obtain this data, and things to keep in mind about spurious products when designing and [...]

Everywhere you look in the microwave industry press or at the international microwave symposium you see one topic mentioned over and over again: Gallium Nitride (GaN). There is presently a gold [...]

T3 mixers are the highest dynamic range mixer available. They are also handbuilt parts, subject to unit to unit and lot to lot variability. In this blog post we attempt to quantify that [...]

Marki is bringing advanced mixer designs to a broader market with four new models of GaAs Schottky diode double balanced mixers covering S and K band applications.  These designs combine the [...]
