Description

The M79H is a double balanced mixer, designed for use in mili-

tary, commercial and test equipment applications. This mixer can

also be used as a phase detector or bi-phase modulator since the

IF port is DC coupled to the diodes.

Environmental screening

available to MIL-STD-202, and MIL-DTL-28837, consult factory.
