Mixers

Source: Teledyne Cougar

Frequency mixers are used to create a new signal once two different signals are applied to them. Teledyne Cougar supplies several different models of Frequency Mixers with varying frequency operating ranges available in standard TO-8, TO-8H, Surface Mount Mixer, and standard Cougar Hi-Rel MixerPak configurations. Cougar's Mixer product line uses Schottky diodes and transformers in either double or triple balanced designs covering DC to 20 GHz. Cougar's Hi-Rel MixerPak™ is a seam-sealed hermetic package containing fired in glass feed-thrus, which prevent flux contamination for military or space applications. To make specifying mixers for military or space applications easier, Cougar has developed a screening flow based on MIL-DTL-28837. Triple balanced designs will have pre burned-in diodes and do not receive burn-in at the module level.
