Mixers

VDI offers subharmonically-pumped mixers (SHM) and Nth harmonic mixers (HM) for a variety of down conversion applications between 75GHz and 1700 GHz. Our Sub-harmonic mixers ( LO = ½ RF frequency) have a waveguide LO input, are easy to use and ideally suited for mmWave & THz applications.  These mixers use only planar and/or integrated diodes and provide state-of-the-art performance. The subharmonically-pumped mixers and Nth harmonic mixers have a separate LO waveguide flange and typically exhibit > 100 dB isolation of the LO at the RF port. Fundamental mixers (FM) are also available, but require an external diplexer to combine the RF and LO signals. Contact VDI today for additional information.
