A frequency mixer is a non-linear device allowing to transform two input signals of given frequency to a third signal of a frequency equal to the sum and/or the difference of the input frequencies.
MC2-Technologies developped several mixers in order to respond to particular needs.

The double sideband mixer
The double sideband mixer is a common mixer architecture. It contains both upper and lower sidebands of the mixing process at the output of the mixer.
| Reference | BW LO (GHz) | BW RF (GHz) | BW IF (GHz) | Conv. loss (dB) | PLO (dBm) | NF (dB) | P1dB (dBm) | Matching (dB) LO/RF/IF | Supply (V) | RF Connectors LO/RF/IF |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MXDSB9294 | 86,6-91 | 92-94 | 3 | 4 | 10 | - | - | -10 | - | - |
| MXDSBDC-50G | DC - 50 | DC - 50 | DC - 1 | < 8 | > -10 | - | - | -15 / -15 / -15 | -6 | K/K/SMA |
The Image rejection mixer
The Image rejection mixer (also called signle side band mixer) is a typical and widely spread achritecture allowing to remove one of the two major mixer products from the output of the mixing or multiplication process and so to use only the upper side band (USB) or the lower side band (LSB).
| Reference | BW LO (GHz) | BW RF (GHz) | BW IF (GHz) | Conv. loss (dB) | PLO (dBm) | NF (dB) | P1dB (dBm) | Matching (dB) LO/RF/IF | Supply (V) | RF Connectors LO/RF/IF |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MXSSB15-50G | 15 - 50 | 15 - 50 | DC - 5 | < 10 | > 10 | 10 | 10 | -10 / -15 / -10 | 0.4 | K/K/SMA |
