Mixers - VDI offers fundamental mixers (FM), subharmonically-pumped mixers (SHM) and Nth harmonic mixers (HM). These mixers use only planar and/or integrated diodes and provide state-of-the-art performance.  The fundamental mixers require an external diplexer to combine the RF and LO signals. 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.
