This post is to discuss the Mixers/Modulators from L3 Narda Miteq.
DigiKey carries several of these products; however, there are several more that we can quote to customers. To find the appropriate Mixer/Modulator one can follow these quick steps.
Go to Mixers: Single-, Double-, Triple-Balanced - Narda-MITEQ
This will have several options for picking the right product. If a value is unknown, just leave it blank. The search works like the DigiKey search. It will bring up everything that HAS NOT BEEN FILTERED OUT.
Quick reference guide for a Mixer:
Image you know what your IF in is, not what your LO value is, but you know what you want your RF out to be.
If IF in = .07GHz
LO = unknown
RF output = 4-8GHz
Anything that is not on the DigiKey website can be quoted by sending an email to quotes@digikey.com
Take the equation of RF out = IF + LO
4GHz = x + .07GHz
4GHZ - 0.7GHz = 3.93GHz for LO
