Description
The MZ7420 is a double balanced mixer, designed for use in
military, commercial and test equipment applications. The design
utilizes Schottky ring quad diodes and broadband soft dielectric
and ferrite baluns to attain excellent performance. This mixer can
also be used as a phase detector and/or bi-phase modulator since
the IF port is DC coupled to the diodes. The use of high tempera-
ture solder and welded assembly processes used internally
makes it ideal for use in manual, semi-automated assembly.
Environmental screening available to MIL-STD-883, MIL-STD-
202, or MIL-DTL-28837, consult factory.
