Description

The unique design of the termination insensitive

mixer (TIM) enables it to apply high reverse voltage

to diodes during their “off” phase, in the LO cycle.

This allows for higher power level performance with

minimum distortion. In addition the TIM has internal

loads that provide a good match and also absorb

mixer generated LO frequency terms.

Combined,

these

fe atures

give

the

mixer

its

insensitivity to external mismatches, plus superior

VSWR.
