The New Waveguide Series V-Band Biased Mixer

Spacek Labs model MV-1B is a wide-band biased mixer with full V-Band coverage in the RF and LO ports. The RF and LO ports span 50 to 75 GHz in WR-15. The local oscillator power is reduced to only 0 to +5 dBm by applying a DC bias. The IF port covers 10 MHz to 3 GHz and is supplied with a DC block on the SMA (f) connector. Conversion loss is 6 dB typ. and 9 dB max.  Lower conversion loss is available on units with reduced bandwidths. The input 1dB compression point is 7 dB below the LO input power. The DC bias requirement is +12 Volts @ 10 mA.
