By Kyle Chang As microwave designers push surface mount systems to higher frequencies of operation, the detailed layout of circuitry on a surface mount board becomes more important. This is [...]

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 [...]

One of the unique products that we have at Marki Microwave is our broadband, high isolation 3-way and 4-way power dividers. In this blog post we will answer some common questions we receive, [...]

Yesterday I wrote about how it was possible to create a PAM4 signal using a Wilkinson power divider. Our Wilkinson product line also includes more rare 3 and 4 way power dividers, which means [...]

After investigating and concluding that yes, Wilkinson power dividers work for splitting data, the natural question was whether they work for combining data.This is a more complicated question [...]

In making the datasheets for the first Microlithic frequency doubler (MLD-1640), it occurred to us that not enough has been made about the difference between isolation and suppression. In mixers [...]

I was thinking about the difference between power dividers, baluns, and couplers, and realized that they could all be thought of as power splitters. The characteristics that make them different [...]
