Broadband Up/Downconverters
Our cross-bar mixer design uses two custom made hermetic point
contact Schottky barrier diodes. We can make mixers with any
combination of RF, LO and IF frequencies! These mixers canfunction as upconverters as well. We offer these mixers withDC bias option to allow LO input levels as low as 0 dBm.

Planar Mixers
Spacek Labs’ Planar mixers are both economical and high-performance.
With high IF bandwidth capability, wide band RF and LO ranges are available
in a single unit. Our balanced mixer design is optimized for flat-response
conversion loss and excellent spurious rejection.
This versatile design allows customization of this passive mixer to beequipped with active bias, amplification on any port, additional filteringand the option of coaxial or waveguide ports.
